Is it possible to just turn off KDM's pointer handling altogether? Or at least
make it possible to run a script when configuring a device.
My problem is that I have three pointing devices: touchpad, trackpoint and
intermittent USB mouse. Every time I plug the mouse in, kcminit screws up the
settings for both touchpad and trackpoint.
Prior to recent updates my /etc configuration worked fine with no interference,
but now KDE cannot be persuaded to just let things alone.
Here's the config I have in /etc. This works just fine without kdminit's
meddling:
# Match on all pointing devices but joysticks
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "cfr libinput pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
EndSection
# llaw chwith : llygod = pointers *heb* touchpads & trackpoints
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "cfr libinput llygod"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchIsTouchpad "off"
NoMatchProduct "TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Left Handed Enabled" "1"
EndSection
# dim ond trackpoint
# addaswyd o https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1747203#p1747203
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "cfr libinput trackpoint"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchIsTouchpad "off"
MatchProduct "TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Accel Speed" "1"
Option "Accel Profile" "flat"
Option "Left Handed Enabled" "0"
EndSection
# dim ond touchpads
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "cfr libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Tapping" "1"
Option "TappingDragLock" "1"
Option "Accel Speed" "1"
Option "Left Handed Enabled" "0"
EndSection
And here is kcminit-undo, which I must run shortly after I plug a mouse in:
#!/bin/bash -
#set -x
PATH=/usr/bin
export PATH
allan=0
usage="Usage: $0

}
warning () {

return 1
}
usage () {
printf %b "$usage\n"
}
usage_and_exit () {
usage
exit $1
}
try () {
xinput set-prop $1 "$2" $3 || warning "Gwall: na allaf gosod "$2" $3

}
tempargs=$(getopt -o h --long help -- "$@")
if [ $? != 0 ];
then

fi

while true

exit $allan;;

touch=$(xinput list --id-only "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad")
track=$(xinput list --id-only "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint")
mouse=$(xinput list | grep "Mouse" | sed
's/^.*id=\([0-9][0-9]*\)[^0-9].*$/\1/')
[[ "$mouse" != "" ]] && xinput set-prop $mouse "libinput Left Handed Enabled" 1
try $track "libinput Left Handed Enabled" 0 TrackPoint
try $track "libinput Accel Speed" 1 TrackPoint
try $track "libinput Accel Profile Enabled" "0, 1" TrackPoint
try $touch "libinput Accel Speed" 1 TouchPad
try $touch "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1 TouchPad
try $touch "libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled" 1 TouchPad
try $touch "libinput Left Handed Enabled" 0 TouchPad
exit $allan
# vim: set nospell:
The module seems to have no discretion at all. It sets everything left-handed,
whereas I only want the mouse that way - not the trackpoint. And it drastically
slows pointer speed for the touchpad and, to a lesser extent, the trackpoint.
Please provide an option to disable this functionality in KDE without
uninstalling KDE altogether. I know I have a somewhat specific setup. I don't
expect a GUI to accommodate it. But the GUI needs an off switch so KDE keeps
out of the way again.
