Natural Scrolling in LinuxMint (or Ubuntu)

I recently starting using Mac OSX Lion and the natural scrolling is great, however when i switch back to my LinuxMint 11 (base on Ubuntu 11.04), I find it frustrating doing 2 finger scrolling the other way around.  Hence, if you want natural scrolling on LinuxMint 11, follow these instructions:


Make a file called .Xmodmap in your Home directory, and into it paste:

pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Log out and in, and it will ask you if you want to load the config file, click yes and "don't ask again".

This reverses the two finger up and two finger down inputs.

Enjoy!
