Synaptic Touchpad Scroll Speed on Linux

So I messed around with Linux on my old Lenovo 3000 N200.
Zorin OS Lite works very well out of the box. The only thing that annoys me, is the super fast scroll speed.

This post explains everything, huge thanks to Amir Hossein Baghernezad : https://askubuntu.com/a/1051707

Short version: This (ubuntu based) OS uses an old synaptics driver.

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Now we need to add or edit the ScrollDelta values in the config file. I need 200 and it’s still not sluggish.

cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo nano 70-synaptics.conf

How it should look:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "VertScrollDelta"  "200"
        Option "HorizScrollDelta" "200"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html
      MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection

Save the file and close nano (CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X), Log the user out and back in to feel the changes.

It’s possible to invert the scroll (natural scroll?) with a negativ value, like „-200“.
