Hi everyone!
I read the Debian wiki about
Synaptics but I can't figure out how to activate 3 fingers tap... I would like to create a shortcut to show Activities whenever I tap three fingers on my touchpad. Any ideas?
Code: Select all
frederic@frederic-laptop:~$ grep "TouchPad: buttons:" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 3.388] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right double triple
Thank you for your help!
Edit:
So, I did the first part of the job. I think I enabled the three point click by creating this file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf
Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Touchpad" # required
MatchIsTouchpad "yes" # required
Driver "synaptics" # required
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2" # multitouch
Option "TapButton3" "3" # multitouch
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" # multitouch
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" # multitouch
EndSection
Now, how to link it to showing Activities?

Not all touchpads are capable of detecting 3 fingers. What laptop do you have?
What's the output of:
... and whatever the touchpad is called:
Code: Select all
xinput list-props "The Name of Your TouchPad"
Example:
Code: Select all
xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"

the command
xinput list does not work on my laptop... In the Debian doc about X11 and Synaptics it is said that the command
grep "TouchPad: buttons:" /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows if a trackpad can detect three fingers, and mine indicates "triple" (as mentioned above).
Edit:
The package
touchegg exists but it is not available in Debian repositories, nor its dependencies (such as utouch).
The details about my laptop are in my signature.

What you are mean when sayd "xinput does not work?" xinput is in the package xinput.
Also there is package xserver-xorg-input-mutouch, but I don't know is it suitable for your touchpad.
Also xserver-xorg-input-multitouch, x11-touchscreen-calibrator.
Also there is touchcal program in Internet for a sensor screen calibration.
