Re: [DNG] Tochpad scrolling on devuan

This is a gem! I don't know how many times I have accidentally brushed at the touchpad while typing and moved the cursor to somewhere it shouldn't be or deleted text. Maybe one could write a daemon that disables the touchpad n seconds after the any-key has been pressed... :) /fuumind On Wed,

Re: [DNG] Tochpad scrolling on devuan

Good you got scrolling to work. In case it helps, this is what works for me to enable tap functions, rather than mess with xorg configs: synclient TapButton1=1 LBCornerButton=2 RBCornerButton=3 MaxTapTime=140 SingleTapTimeout=140 MaxDoubleTapTime=140 Try first in a user terminal, if it works

Re: [DNG] Tochpad scrolling on devuan

Hi all! Thank you for all the great help with getting my touchpad working better! I now have two finger scrolling working (I discovered in the process that my hardware do support it.) Adding the option line 'Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"' to the file

Re: [DNG] Tochpad scrolling on devuan

The synaptics driver is usually the way to go. Check if it's installed by dpkg -l | grep synaptics, if not then apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Usually any options you want will have to be configured as the defaults are pretty basic, the archlinux wiki has some good info on the

deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main in your sources.list.. Do be careful to comment that line immediately after use, I'm not the only one who had problems with unintentional "upgrades" from backports. Some of my posts might not have made the list properly, my usual mail

I doubt that my hardware is too new. It is a Dell Latitude E6410 that I bought second hand a couple of years ago. :) How would I go about upgrading to a backported kernel? Is there a repo somewhere I can use or do I need to build it myself? /fuumind On Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:27:39 -0400 Hendrik

[DNG] Tochpad scrolling on devuan

Hi! I am trying to get touchpad scrolling working on my new Devuan setup. So far I've figured out that it is probably pmouse that is driving the hardware by stealing the following from http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/131432/which-driver-is-handling-my-touchpad : lsmod|grep -iE
