trying different x11-input-synaptics drivers and still no joy
if anybody knows the solution, please post it here.

Re: touchpad vertical scrolling
Here are some relevant threads that I've found:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... nt-849714/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... op-675065/
The problem appears to be that your system is recognizing your touchpad as a standard mouse, rather than a SynPS/2 device (or it recognizes it as SynPS/2 and then changes it to standard mouse).
Check this with cat /proc/bus/input/devices. My system came up with a standard mouse.
Temporary work around:
Apparently you can add those lines to the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local (see first thread), though I haven't tested it. There's more info in those threads, and this does not appear to be the only way to fix it.
Thanks,
Ahau

Re: touchpad vertical scrolling
you can also edit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf and change:
'options psmouse proto=imps'
to
'options psmouse proto=auto'
should do the job
