Ubuntu – Lost the vertical scroll function in touchpad after upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10

13.10mousescrollingsony

just upgraded from Ubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.10, my Laptop is a Sony SVE1512c6ew, scrolling worked perfectly in Ubuntu 13.04, doesnt work at all in 13.10

Runs Ubuntu 13.10 64bits (btw, tested it i Windows 8 environment works there)Hardware OK, have seen a number of other users with the same problem, well for starters have followed the tip on using the dconf editor, following the path:

org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad
boxed in all for sure… still cant get vertical scroll……

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance

ck. in either dconf-editor > org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad & see if scroll-method is set to edge-scrolling. If not do so & see.

Or System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad, make sure two finger scroll is disabled
