[Solved] libinput broke my Nat. Scrolling settings.

Hi guys,

Today's Xorg update broke my Xorg conf rule to reverse scrolling for my mouse wheel. I have a conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d that looks like this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Natural Scrolling"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "VertScrollDelta" "-1"
        Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-1"
        Option "DialDelta" "-1"
EndSection

After updating today, that stopped working completely.

After poking around with libinput-list-devices, I noticed this in the output:

Device:           Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v1.0
Kernel:           /dev/input/event3

"Nat.scrolling: disabled "

Interesting. Don't remember seeing that option before.

How do I enable that? I'm hoping that enabling it will reverse my scrolling again.

Thanks!

I solved it.

Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"

fixed it.

Also, is it true that xorg.conf will be gone soon?

It's already gone. Use xorg.conf.d/ files.
