I was not very clear about this. The /usr/etc/gpm-syn.conf was there. it just could not find it. After looking the source, I found the config.h file had a line like "#define SYSCONFDIR "${prefix}/etc" ".

After applying Petr Mladek's patch original gpm-syn.conf worked fine(Thanks, Mr. Petr Mladek), which means I explicitly enabled the edge scrolling feature. But the edge scrolling just did not work. I tried in Mozilla and Gimp.
