ubuntu 11.04 11.10 and mint linux 12 two finger scroll problems
Problem: Dell Vostro 3550. Double finger scrolling does not work. Synanptics driver is not installed. The touch pad model is ALPS:
wojtek@wojtek-Vostro-3550 ~ $ xinput -list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] (...) ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] (...)
Solution: Install the module mentioned in comment 57 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/737051 Download http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb Then install it:
sudo dpkg -i psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb
Then you should be able to go to your settings screen (in gnome 3 it is windowskey and type settings and then you should see pointing devices settings). Go there and you should see your touchpad settings there. You can enable two finger scrolling there. For me it worked for enabling scrolling with touchpad (try sliding your finger on the right side of the touchpad, it should scroll verticaly).

Solution: If you are using InteliJ check that the package structure was created properly. In my case InteliJ created a directory “com.example” instead of creating two directories “com” and in it “example”.
