[Solved] Synaptics tapping
[Solved] Synaptics tapping
Is it possible to setup tapping so that a fast tap with two fingers behaves like the right click button.

Re: Synaptic tapping

Re: Synaptic tapping
sorry that is exactly what I mean. using gnome, I have the following settings in gsynaptics
My xorg.conf looks like so with respect to the Touchpad
edit: i get the same result even if I disable Enable Faster Tapping

Re: Synaptic tapping
I'm currently using the Lenny xorg which does not support much, but have you tried "xinput"?
You can get freakin' multitouch with a new enough xorg: http://linuxformat.com/content/synaptics-multitouch

Re: Synaptic tapping
i am not particularly married to xorg. if there is a udev solution i will take that.
it seems to me that this configuration may work. Thing is where would I put it?

Re: Synaptic tapping

all other features work. soft tapping doesn't.

Re: Synaptic tapping
Try synclient's options. I mapped right-click with it to the bottom right corner tap.
Re: Synaptic tapping
ah that's helped. I ran synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=1 and synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=2.
One finger tapping emulates left click. Two finger tapping doesn't emulate right click. what should i do to emulate the latter?

Re: Synaptic tapping
Anyone been able to get this working on one of the later MBPs?
Or maybe what device I need to check is running with respect to bmc5311's post.
I still have:
1 soft touch - click
2 soft touches - nothing or sometimes paste
This is in Gnome environment if it helps.

Re: Synaptic tapping
I did a bit more digging into the whole issue:
I noticed the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
So i decided to do the following:
which solved the problem. Essentially the log output shows 3 buttons being recognised and i figured the order must be button 1, 2 and 3. So in essence I wanted two fingers to emulate button 3.
I noticed the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Code: Select all
(II) bcm5974: buttons: left double triple
Code: Select all
