Hi list, I recently upgraded some packages (including xorg stuff, hal and udev). Now the settings from the xorg.conf are no longer applied. (at least the TapButton2=2)
I'm not sure what the actual problem is, however I have one guess: The (new?) setting in gnome-control-center for touchpad overwrites the settings from xorg.conf. Some facts: - using synclient TapButton2=2 will make it work instantly again. - Creating a hdi policy[1] does not help. - The settings from the hdi policy are listed under lshal - Enabling the buttons in the control center (Mouse-Touchpad) will make the button work instantly (but the mappings are wrong, so no option for me) - additionally, using the control center after synclient will disable (or mismap) it again. Using synclient again makes things fine. - Xorg.0.log recognizes the settings from xorg.conf - there are errors in Xorg.0.log [2] So how do I solve this? I would rather not use synclient in an startscript (there are already to many things changing this) Fabian [1] /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad"> <!-- do not use the synaptics driver for devices advertising themselves as keyboards --> <match key="info.capabilities" contains_not="input.keyboard"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> <!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. --> <merge key="input.x11_options.TabButton2" type="string">2</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> [2] /var/log/Xorg.0.log (excerpt) (II) config/hal: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.0 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event7" (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: no supported touchpad found (EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
