Synaptics drivers are not loading on Kubuntu 13.10 on Dell Vostro 2420
- by Alok Singh Mahor
I freshly installed Kubuntu 13.10, 32 bit version on newly purchased Dell Vostro 2420. everything is working fine except scrolling and multitouch features through touchpad.
I am able to change position of cursor using touchpad and able to tap (single click and double click) but scrolling is not working
I tried to find out solution by searching on google but could not find proper solution to load synaptics drivers.
i am listing some details:
