I posted this yesterday, and for some reason it got deleted, or maybe I didn't post it correctly. I'm using Trisquel 7.0 mini which uses LXDE. I want to be able to scroll with the vertical edge motion. The option on synclient is vertedgescroll which should be set to 1 instead of 0. It works fine when i enter it manually from a terminal. I set it up in .bashrc to be set automatically, and that doesn't work. But the weird thing is, as soon as I launch a terminal it does get set without my entering anything in the terminal. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Might it be that Bash simply doesn't start in the sessiom (and thus doesn't autostart anything in .bash) until the terminal does?

Try another autostarting method (i.e. putting the command in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart as an additional line).

Use "export" instead of "set" in bashrc

Neither of those suggestions worked. In /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart all the lines seem to begin with @. Should the extra line be "@synclient vertedgescroll=1"?

I discovered what was wrong, and it was my fault. I had disabled vertedgescroll in a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart when using a previous distro. I had forgotten about that. Everything works fine now. Sorry to waste your time and thanks for the responses.
