Ubuntu – How to edit Synaptics Touchpad values in Ubuntu 12.04? No xorg.conf file!

synapticsxorg

After I installed Ubuntu 12.04 got some issues with my touchpad.
I reported the problem and finally today a guy replied here – https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/992330
It seems that the solution was good because I edited HorizHysteresis and VertHysteresis using synclient:
synclient VertHysteresis=48 and synclient HorizHysteresis=48
To see if they were really edited I run into terminal
synclient and just seen there the values I added. Everything is running perfectly till now. But after I restarted Ubuntu the values are gone and rolled back to default.
A guy told me to edit the xorg.conf file but there is no xorg.conf file in etc/X11.

Thanks and hope someone can give me a good solution.

Best Answer

In the terminal, I ran 

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

and the touchpad started working; the touchpad-tab was also visible in settings (mouse).
