I don't think you should remove it, but maybe run synclient -l to check the current user settings, as shown in man synclient.

Did you "reconfigure" openbox? Did you reboot?

It is a pity.
You need not reconfigure openbox if you have rebooted.

Two good commands to know:

Code: Select all

openbox --reconfigure
openbox --restart

Thank you! What do I try next?

I put it here in the rc.xml, I think that's the right place:

Code: Select all

 <keyboard>
    <chainQuitKey>C-g</chainQuitKey>
    <!-- Keybindings for desktop switching -->
    <!-- TOUCHPAD MOD -->
    <keybind key="A-Q">
      <action name="ShowMenu">
        <menu>root-menu</menu>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- end TOUCHPAD MOD-->
    <keybind key="C-A-Left">
      <action name="GoToDesktop">
        <to>left</to>
        <wrap>no</wrap>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Sadly, no reply from the touchpad. Now we know what it is! But how to fix it?
Sorry, that's over my head, hope someone else can help you with that. Other than the touchpad, are things looking okay so far?

Everything else is beautiful, thanks! I'm glad I finally was able to get this through EFI bootloader hell.

How about reading https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad ?
And in my case, I put the lines about A-Q after "<!-- Keybindings for window switching -->"

Ergh. I tried moving it to after the window switching section, to the window section, but still no dice of course.

I have this kind of touchpad:

Code: Select all

egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
It is only the right click that doesn't work.

I tried this:
"adding these lines to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf underneath MatchIsTouchpad 'on'"

Code: Select all

Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"

But it didn't work.
