How can I install a Synaptics pointing driver?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 72599 / 2 Years ago, mon, october 31, 2022, 7:05:59

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, the latest version available from the Ubuntu website

When I'm using windows 8, the touch pad works well with the installed synaptics pointing driver, handling all features like horizontal, vertical scroll as well as circle scrolling etc.

But the problem is, In Ubuntu I only get vertical scrolling. Can anyone tell me how to install synaptics pointing driver for all such functions?

I had a similar problem. The way I corrected it was to install Synaptiks from the Ubuntu Software Center.

This gave me all the options which you are looking for.
