Unable to enable natural scrolling

On my laptop the scrolling it's too fast and I would like to have a natural behavior. 

After checked the Arch Wiki of

libinput

this is my configuration:

cat 30-touchpad.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
EndSection

Even after restarted the X Server, the scroll speed is the same as before and when I check the configuration of the touchpad I can see the NaturalScrolling is still disable.

Device:           SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Kernel:           /dev/input/event11
Group:            11
Seat:             seat0, default
Size:             98x53mm
Capabilities:     pointer gesture
Tap-to-click:     disabled
Tap-and-drag:     enabled
Tap drag lock:    disabled
Left-handed:      disabled
[b]Nat.scrolling:    disabled[/b]
Middle emulation: n/a
Calibration:      n/a
Scroll methods:   *two-finger edge 
Click methods:    none
Disable-w-typing: enabled
Disable-w-trackpointing: enabled
Accel profiles:   flat *adaptive
Rotation:         n/a

If that can be useful, I'm using XFCE and I uninstalled xf86-input-synaptics.

Re: Unable to enable natural scrolling

"NaturalScrolling" determines the scroll direction, not the speed - not sure whether this can actually be changed via libinput...
A quick web search yields a couple workarounds...
