 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to fix a problem with Synaptics. Actually it works when I configure it with System > Preferences > Mouse > Touchpad.
But it's not very customizable. Especially, I want to define the distance between fingers for the TwoFingerScroll.
Anyway, I tried to configure synaptics in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf :
| Code: |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "off"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
EndSection

I have INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" in my /etc/make.conf
Here is the interesting part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log :

I noticed that the module was load twice. One due to input device /dev/input/event6 and the other due to input device /dev/input/mouse0.
I also noticed that there was something wrong the second time :

[ 27.441] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: invalid finger width range. defaulting to 0 - 16

But I don't know what to do from here.
Thanks for help. |

| Ad a restrict to '/dev/input/event*' paths in that conf snippet. |

I tried to add Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" but it didn't change anything.
After a further research, I deleted my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf
and changed the content of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event6"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "off"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
EndSection

It seems to work since Xorg.0.log doesn't log any error about synaptics. However, the "GUI configuration" of the touchpad (System > Preferences > Mouse > Touchpad) still has the precedence.
How could I set the precedence to 50-synaptics ? |

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#GNOME says that
| Quote: | Gnome settings daemon may override existing settings (for example ones set in xorg.conf.d) for which there is no equivalent in any of the graphical configuration utilities. It is possible to stop gnome from touching mouse settings at all:
Run dconf-editor
Edit /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/mouse/
Uncheck the active setting
It will now respect your system's existing synaptics configuration. |
I use openbox, so I can't confirm if it works.

| Haven't anything looking like settings-daemon in /org/gnome/ :s I browse all trees and haven't found anything else that could be relevant. |
