Hi,

on the keyboard there is an "FN" key and another for the mousepad (possibly F6), try switching that off and on and see what happens!!. I assume you are using the mousepad on the Netbook!!.

You would have to press the FN key and hold it down, then as my example states; also press F6, it may have a different number as not all the FN layouts are the same!!.

Hi,

see post number 3 in this (Bug) thread from Mark Shuttleworth:

It says about setting 2 finger scrolling in the mouse settings!!.

I read about "scrolling" and immediately my mind went to the wheel of the mouse! :lol:

As wolfman said, control center>mouse settings>enable two finger scrolling.

I have enabled it and it's just great!

Hi, it's solved the problem.

There's no file with this name, so I created this file only with that line and rebooted the system.
/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
options psmouse proto=imps

P.S: The version of Zorin is 5.2
Thanks so much folks!
