I have fixed the side scroll for my synaptics touchpad, i had to fix my xorg.conf file and put this info in

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection

and insert this line

InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"

into the "ServerLayout" section

and then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"

current xorg.conf Edit (4.2 KiB, text/plain)

The above info was not set in xorg.conf file for the Synaptics Touchpad when Edgy is installed.

Considering that I use the synaptics driver and this bug is almost two years old and for Edgy (which is no longer supported) I am marking it as solved. If you believe that it is in error please re-open.

Thanks,
