So it looks to me this feature isn't on 7, but on 6 it worked just fine for me.

Hi,

open Dconf-Editor:

org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad and make sure there is a tick in each box.

If you don't have Dconf-Editor installed, do so via a terminal with the following command:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

My touchpad settings doesn't look like that. I'm using 7 based on 13.04

Hi,

take a look here:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/kar ... ics.4.html

I cannot find anything else about it sorry!.

Do your mouse settings look like this:

Please post a screenshot if they don't, this is also from Zorin 7.

Have you looked in Synaptic to see if all the drivers are there?: (Open synaptic package manager and type " "synaptics" in search!)

You should have at least the main driver package installed!!.

"xserver-xorg-input-synaptics"

Sorry Wolfman this isn't working.
Oh and apparently it's a bug in 13.04. So sad Ubuntu!

If you open the control panel and then go to the mouse and touchpad settings, you'll see that the default is "two finger scroll". If you touch the pad with one finger and move your other finger, you'll get a similar thing as when using edge scroll. This is probably an adoption to multitouch displays where that could make sense. If you disable that option you'll then get the normal behaviour of edge scroll.
