Touch pad scroll not working on knoppix 7.05

[utu]

Just descovered that executing this command from the terminal window, solves the probelm in 7.0.5 synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 How would I do this automatically?

You might try adding your synclient command to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45knoppix.

Here's how I disable my touchpad:
Add synclient TouchpadOff=1 to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45knoppix.
That is, just add a line to whatever is already there.
I do it this way because adding it to /etc/rc.local doesn't work for me.
