Post by Massimo CanonicoHi all,
on fedora 20 the tap on my touchpad were wroking by adding this in
synclient TapButton1=1
Now, in fedora 23 it seems not working.
Any idea?
Thanks,
M
As I'm using Xorg 1.18.0, now I'm using libinput, and I have in:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
The following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "MyTouchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection
No need to specify the driver (by default libinput), though it's
suggested on [1]. Not sure if it would work for synaptics on the same
Xorg version (maybe). This actullay sets the tapping I want, without
needing any additional manual settings afterwords...
And if using the synaptics driver, then I guess you could instead have in:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Something like:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection
Or, as suggested by [2], something like:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
Option "FingerLow" "35"
Option "FingerHigh" "40"
...
EndSection
My point is, that you can configure synaptics or libinput through Xorg
configuration files, without the need of manual utilities to tweak
configurations afterwords (like synclient).
Other than that, I've never used that synaptics utility. I've always
configured the Xorg drivers from the Xorg configuration files...
Something on top of the prior, what Xorg version are you using? Can
you check if using libinput rather than Synaptics (you can always
specify the driver you want on the Xorg configuration files)? You can
quickly search for the input drivers Xorg is using on the Xorg log:
grep -e "Using input driver" <path_to_Xorg_log>/Xorg.0.log
In my case:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
But might also be:
~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
As suggested by [1]. Depending on your Xorg, and the drivers you have
installed, it might be you're using libinput rather than synaptics...
And if that's the case, you can configure libinput as commented
before, or you can configure Xorg to use synaptics instead as also
commented before.
Hope it helps...
