Hi, I'm using Bodhi 5.1 on my old laptop, and I've recently configured everything I could, but I didn't find any option for enabling natural scrolling on the touchpad. Is there any way to do it? Thank you

Hi amm,
I'm no expert and so I'm sure there are better/easier/more efficient ways and I really don't even know if this will work for you. But here it is. A couple of versions ago I had an issue with getting Tap-to-click working. I did some rudimentary search and found xinput. So here's what I did to get the tap working. I suspect the scrolling can be done too. It's not a small program so if someone has a better idea you might want to go that way. Anyway, here it is:
Enable “tap to click” on TouchPad: >install xinput: sudo apt install xinput >list the devices to find pointer: xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ VGA Webcam: VGA Webcam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Acer WMI hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
[note the ID number, 12] >list the properties of the pointer: xinput --list-props 12 Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad': Device Enabled (142): 1 Coordinate Transformation Matrix (144): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 libinput Tapping Enabled (277): 0 libinput Tapping Enabled Default (278): 0 libinput Tapping Drag Enabled (279): 1 [there are a bunch more. note the property, 277] >enable tapping: xinput --set-prop 12 277

There is a cleaner way to do it:
