Dell Latittude E5530 again. I added lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "0"
# Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

and circular scrolling technically works. But to actually have it stay circular, I need to trace my fingers around the center of the touchpad. On this laptop, under Ubuntu and using glidepoint drivers, I was able to keep circular scrolling with almost any circular motion, e.g. a circle in the upper right quadrant of the pad. If I try that now, it just scrolls up and down, reversing itself. How can I fix or configure this?
I tried gpointing-device-settings too, but changing the start point either didn't help or actively broke. Also the program says
"An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter).
An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)."
at startup, FWIW.

It's probably the "VertEdgeScroll" option interferring with the circular scrolling --- try setting it to "0"

Okay, I'll try that.
Is there any way of doing so without restarting my whole X session? Sending a kill signal of some kind to Xorg, say?

synclient vertedgescroll=0
EDIT: this will not persist across re-boots, change the .conf file if it works

Ah, a useful thing to explore, thanks! Didn't solve my problem,though.
