Ubuntu 14.04 running on VMware 11 : Touchpad scroll does not work
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Installed Ubuntu 14.04 as guest OS on VMWare workstation v11. Machine is a Lenovo z50-70 laptop. I haven't been able to scroll using the touchpad. I have to either use a usb mouse or the touchpad buttons to actually drag the scrollbar.
Have tried few suggestions like re-installing the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. But that was of little help.
Also I dont see any options for enabling/disabling scroll which are usually there in the muose/touchpad settings.
Please suggest a working solution.

Try following "Launch VMWare workstation, click the Edit menu, then select Preferences. Now select the Devices Tab - You will see a checkbox "Disable Autorun on Host" turn this off, i.e take the check off, click apply and ok. Close down VMWare Workstation, reboot your machine"

VMWare Workstation currently doesn't have native support for two finger scroll. You can switch to VirtualBox or install a third-party software on your host that emulates a scroll wheel.

The best bet would be to use the arrow keys to work around the touchpad, it is incredibly frustrating but I am beginning to recognize that there is no fix for this.
