hm, I don't like it when defaults change so dramatically! So the |
| 22 |
problem wasn't evdev / hal related. Why on earth would tap to click be |
| 23 |
turned off by default now? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Two finger scrolling was on, but "broken" on the new synaptic driver, as |
| 26 |
every time I scroll up, then lift my finger off, it scrolls down further |
| 27 |
than I can scroll up! |
| 28 |
|

Even the acceleration had changed to make it unusable. I've left the |
| 30 |
evdev mouse driver as a second mouse to catch all usb mice, and I have |
| 31 |
my touchpad as the default: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 34 |
Identifier "Synaptic Touchpad" |
| 35 |
Driver "synaptics" |
| 36 |
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" |
| 37 |
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" |
| 38 |
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
# turn on finger tap: |
| 41 |
Option "TapButton1" "1" # Left button |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
# don't use two finger scrolling: |
| 44 |
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "false" |
| 45 |
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "false" |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
# use edge scroll areas: |
| 48 |
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" |
| 49 |
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
#continue scrolling when touchpad end reached |
| 52 |
Option "CornerCoasting" "true" |
| 53 |
Option "CoastingSpeed" "2" |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
#set speed and accel: |
| 56 |
Option "MinSpeed" "0.20" |
| 57 |
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.60" |
| 58 |
Option "AccelFactor" "0.020" |
| 59 |
EndSection |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Note I only used TapButton1, not 2 and 3, as I want to double tap for a |
| 62 |
double click, not double tap for a midle/right click. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
thanks for all the suggestions! |
