libinput Middle Emulation Enabled Default (337): 0 It's *possible* that setting this will store the setting in the touchpad's firmware, so you don't have to do this on every USB reset, and it's worth finding out. But that's not guaranteed. You'll want to put the set-prop in something which runs right after your X11 or Wayland desktop starts. The process as a whole - xinput list, xinput list-props, xinput set-prop - is widely applicable to changing options for mice, trackballs, trackpads, touchscreens, and even keyboards. -dsr-
