Touchpad glide not working

[JanetBiggar]

My original question is below:  This is now solved - I tried the Fn, F9 option and nothing changed.  Then I tried the suggestion that perhaps the "scroll" feature worked off of the right hand side of the trackpad - Presto it worked.  Thanks a bunch for the various replies 

Question: Perhaps someone can help.  I have loaded Linux lite on 2 older computers and one notebook. With one computer and the notebook the touchpad works great/normally. On the third computer (Toshiba Satellite Pro A-110 the glide function does not work (the left and right mouse click buttons work AND double tapping the touch pad works, however when I use my two fingers to scroll up and down on the touch pad nothing happens.  This movement works on the other computer (Toshiba Satellite A-100 and the Acer notebook).  I have looked at the mouse settings (couldn't see any area for touchpad alone) and all seems to be the same.  Any idea what I can do to have it work or simply try adding an external mouse..?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello JanetBiggar,

can you try the keys, Fn and F5, press both at same time ?
Then try the trackpad.

If fail, then to try the keys, Fn and F9, press both at same time ?

Hi Janet. I think how this function works depends on the hardware and drivers, not on the operating system. Two-finger controls are a more recent development. This touch pad may not be built to handle multi-touch input. (I don't know the Toshiba Satellite laptops.)

I have an older laptop -- it's built to use the right edge of the touch pad as a scroll bar. So with one finger, I drag up and down against the right side of the pad to scroll. You could see if your laptop responds to that.
