 |
|
Hi,
I have some trouble with my touchpad. Some weeks ago I decided to switch from evdev to libinput. As touchpad driver I used synaptics. Unfortunately I wasn't able to configure the libinput driver to get a similar behaviour like my synpatics settings. So I tried to use both drivers parallel. Synpatics for the touchpad, libinput for the rest (keyboard, mouse, etc)
I didn't figure out yet, how to priorize the drivers. And so it seems, X loads the drivers arbitrarily. Sometimes the libinput driver is used for the touchpad, sometimes the synaptics driver.
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "deadtilde"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
and
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf: |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "FingerLow" "15"
Option "FingerHigh" "20"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "50"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "50"
Option "RTCornerButton" "2"
Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.2"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.5"
Option "SHMConfig" "off"
EndSection |
Before the Identifier in the synaptics.conf was Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall". So I tought maybe I have to overwrite the section from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and changed the the Identifier to "libinput touchpad catchall". Didn't work. Next I tried to rename 50-synaptics.conf to 30-synaptics.conf. Didn't help too.
The Logfile tells me:
| /var/log/Xorg.0.log: | [ 2298.903] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event7)

And of course xinput tells me:

How can I prevent libinput to catch my touchpad? |

Went back to evdev, but experienced the same problem.
Then I found this:
| Quote: | /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is the "packaged" configuration directory; all
files ending with ".conf" in this directory are used by the X server
unless there is an identically-named file in the local sysadmin directory.
The local sysadmin config directory is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ - all files
ending with ".conf" in this directory are parsed.
There are several default config files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/:
* 10-evdev.conf
a "catchall" file for input devices using the evdev driver; this
should work for most hardware in the absence of a better driver
* 50-synaptics.conf
overrides the earlier 10-evdev.conf file and uses the synaptics
driver for all touchpads |
I'm still testing, if that works. Until now it looks good. |
