touchpad on pinebook issues?
#14
I don't know where to begin looking for that file on your system. But here's how you can tell if you have it. Open a terminal window. Be yourself, not root.

Type "find / | grep kcm_touchpad" without the quotes.

That's going to give you a bunch of messages saying that it can't traverse certain directories. But if you have the file, it will tell you where it is.

I've read several places where people complained that they didn't have that file in Linux, with KDE Plasma. I have NetBSD with KDE Plasma, and I don't have the file.

Your operating system is a flavour ("distru") of GNU/Linux, called KDE Neon, which is a fork of Ubuntu, which is a fork of Debian. You have a Desktop Environment, which probably runs atop X (X11). The Desktop Environment that you use is the K Desktop Environment, or KDE. Plasma is the name for the typical configuration of KDE.

You could run Debian with KDE and everything would probably look the same, but would be less confusing under the hood. The advantage of Ubuntu though is that it's popular. I'm not sure if that's an advantage on the Pinebook.

For what it's worth, I tried checking/unchecking Reverse Scroll Direction on NetBSD in KDE (and XFCE) to no avail, unfortunately.
