How to enable 2- and 3-fingers tapping? - alchemist - 11-08-2021

Hi,

I would like to enable 2 and 3 fingers tapping on the touchpad (2 fingers = right click, 3 fingers = middle click). I can do it on my other laptops but not on the PBP.

synclient tells that I have those parameters:
Code:
$ synclient Parameter settings:     LeftEdge                = 56     RightEdge              = 1344     TopEdge                = 49     BottomEdge              = 865     FingerLow              = 30     FingerHigh              = 30     MaxTapTime              = 180     MaxTapMove              = 73     MaxDoubleTapTime        = 180     SingleTapTimeout        = 180     ClickTime              = 100     EmulateMidButtonTime    = 0     EmulateTwoFingerMinZ    = 40     EmulateTwoFingerMinW    = 8     VertScrollDelta        = 64     HorizScrollDelta        = 64     VertEdgeScroll          = 1     HorizEdgeScroll        = 1     CornerCoasting          = 0     VertTwoFingerScroll    = 1     HorizTwoFingerScroll    = 1     MinSpeed                = 1     MaxSpeed                = 2.8     AccelFactor            = 0.119689     TouchpadOff            = 2     LockedDrags            = 0     LockedDragTimeout      = 5000     RTCornerButton          = 0     RBCornerButton          = 0     LTCornerButton          = 0     LBCornerButton          = 0     TapButton1              = 1     TapButton2              = 2     TapButton3              = 3     ClickFinger1            = 1     ClickFinger2            = 2     ClickFinger3            = 3     CircularScrolling      = 1     CircScrollDelta        = 0.1     CircScrollTrigger      = 0     CircularPad            = 0     PalmDetect              = 1     PalmMinWidth            = 10     PalmMinZ                = 200     CoastingSpeed          = 20     CoastingFriction        = 50     PressureMotionMinZ      = 30     PressureMotionMaxZ      = 160     PressureMotionMinFactor = 1     PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1     GrabEventDevice        = 0     TapAndDragGesture      = 1     AreaLeftEdge            = 0     AreaRightEdge          = 0     AreaTopEdge            = 0     AreaBottomEdge          = 0     HorizHysteresis        = 8     VertHysteresis          = 8     ClickPad                = 1     RightButtonAreaLeft    = 700     RightButtonAreaRight    = 0     RightButtonAreaTop      = 749     RightButtonAreaBottom  = 0     MiddleButtonAreaLeft    = 0     MiddleButtonAreaRight  = 0     MiddleButtonAreaTop    = 0     MiddleButtonAreaBottom  = 0
What is missing?

Or is it better to use libevent?

Kind regards,
Xavier Miller

Hi!

Solved using xinput and a standard config file:
Code:
#/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-touchpad.conf Section "InputClass"     Identifier "touchpad"     Driver "libinput"     MatchIsTouchpad "on"     Option "Tapping" "on"     Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm" EndSection
