Public bug reported: I have my ~/.config/tourchpadrc properly set. However, these settings are ignored and my touchpad falls back to default settings, which is no emulated clicks and no inverse vertical scrolling.
$ cat ~/.config/touchpadrc [parameters] InvertVertScroll=true Tapping=true The worst part, after rebooting ~10 times, my touchpad works again. The last kernel I had and in which this did not use to happen was 5.4.0-81-generic.
