Re: gnome-control-center - Adding natural scrolling support for mouse

[Ondrej Holy <oholy redhat com>]

Hi Diego,

please look at the following Bug 682457 [1]. There is also several comments about "Evdev Scrolling Distance". 
However this bug will be fixed with libinput port, which should be done in the near future.

Regards 

Ondrej
