Yesterday I was just looking for a solution to this same problem on my |
| 29 |
notebook. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I have found out that synaptics now defaults to dual finger scrolling |
| 32 |
(see the man mage), and tap to click is off by default. I have added the |
| 33 |
following in my configuration file: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 36 |
Identifier "Touchpad" |
| 37 |
Driver "synaptics" |
| 38 |
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
| 39 |
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" |
| 40 |
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" |
| 41 |
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" |
| 42 |
Option "SHMConfig" "true" |
| 43 |
Option "TapButton1" "1" # Left button |
| 44 |
#Option "TapButton2" "2" # Right button |
| 45 |
#Option "TapButton3" "3" # Middle button |
| 46 |
EndSection |
| 47 |
