You'll need to research "xinput" and "libinput"
See this from the archives concerning how to enable/disable the touchpad using
"xinput"
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.o...
And, FWIW, I use
xinput --set-prop 14 "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
to enable tapping on my Acer's touchpad.
I've not looked at the needed commands to modify scrolling methods.
Cool! Thanks!...I will sift through this info and see what helps!!
Cheers!
