touchpad frozen while trying to active scrolling on Dell Latitude
by sophieR from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X64S)
SInce I got a new laptop with Linux Mint installed my touchpad was never scrolling; only worked as a mouse.
To get it to scroll I tried to follow these instructions from a forum :
I entered into the Terminal -
echo "blacklist i2c_hid" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i2c-hid.conf
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
echo "synaptics_i2c" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
The result is that the touchpad no longer works AT ALL.
I have borrowed an external mouse to be able to continue for now.
1) I cant see how to undo that command.
2) How do I get my touch pad working correctly . ie as mouse and as scrolling.
Thankyou very much!
