Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/956

Hi I am using reverse scrolling on my computer. So I want to use reverse scrolling with firejail too. I am using firejail 0.9.44 on Arch linux.

I created a directory for private home and added my .Xmodmap file in the directory.

firejail \
    --private=~/tmp/google_chrome \
    google-chrome-stable

When I open the google-chrome in firejail reverse scrolling not working.

My .Xmodmap file:

pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12

How can I solve this?

Are you sure reverse scrolling works in Google Chrome if launched outside of firejail? Gnome 3 (and GTK 3) break the old way of doing some stuff, including reverse scrolling. I had reverse scrolling stop working in Firefox because I was using xmodmap and had to use xinput instead (which does work).

You should try xinput list-props <device number> (use xinput list to figure out what the number of your device is). My touchpad has a "Natural Scrolling" property that I can set, which seems to work across programs.
