http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'm setting Fedora 17 up a new laptop with a standard synaptics touchpad. It was a standard installation, except that I chose to install xfce instead of GNOME. The touchpad has worked properly right from the start, but tap-to-click was not enabled. After some googling, I installed gpointing-device-settings and was able to configure thresholds, etc. for the touchpad, but I still couldn't enable tap-to-click. After some more googling, I created the following X config file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-enable-taps.conf: Code: Section "InputClass"     Identifier "tap (HowTos)

Okay, here's how I did it, it's really easy apparently.sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf# Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on# InputClass.# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite# it when updating.

[ubuntu] touchpad delay 21 weeks 6 days ago

My touchpad was working fine. There was no touchpad lag/delay before I upgraded packages with the xorg-edgers ppa to make steam games work for linux beta.

Hi

i have problem with my touchpad. i have ubuntu 12.04 64bit installed on HP Probook 4330s. and i try to install touchegg.

In relation to another post I made here, I've noticed with the upgrade to Karmic that the click style has changed somewhat for my Synaptics touchpad. I've discovered that the change is system-wide and not limited to Firefox.

This is a part of my Xorg log, there's something wrong with my driver.It say "No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

On my Dell XPS laptop I have one of the "ClickPad" types of touchpads, my problem is that it does not function nearly as accurately as it does in Windows.

Hello at all,

Hi folks,

Just got a new Sager NP8690 laptop and installed Ubuntu Karmic on it. Upon installation, I was unable to use the scrolling on the touchpad at all.

The Preference -> Mouse dialog did not display a Touchpad tab.

xinput list says:

Just like the topic says. My xorg.conf, which configures it as a Synaptics touchpad, appears to be completely ignored.

xorg.conf:
