The short answer is: The X server has hard-coded defaults, which can be overridden by configuration files, which are processed in a specific order - if they are present. Please see xorg.conf(5) for details. For customizing the settings, you have to *create* an /etc/xorg.conf file.
70-synaptics.conf is no "example". In 6.2, its "Driver" setting matches the programmatic default for touchpads (synaptics). In 6.3, the driver setting is gone, and the program default is different (it's ws). On 03/26/2018 09:27 PM, Zsolt Kantor wrote: > Hello to all. > I'm using OpenBSD 6.2.
