Hi,
Having followed the instructions here to enable proprietary video drivers for my laptop, it appears that my touchpad tap function has stopped working under KDE. Any help to get it back working would be appreciated. Here are the details:
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5920
Kubuntu & Ubuntu 12.10
Xorg Downgraded to 1.12 to allow use of legacy ATI drivers.
Tapping works fine in Ubuntu; it just fails in KDE.
Error output when running 'synaptiks' from console:
Code:
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
Output of xinput -list
Code:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer Crystal Eye webcam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
"synclient | grep Tap" produces:
Code:
MaxTapTime = 180
MaxTapMove = 221
MaxDoubleTapTime = 180
SingleTapTimeout = 180
TapButton1 = 0
TapButton2 = 0
TapButton3 = 0
TapAndDragGesture = 1
Things I've tried:
- Re-installed kde-config-touchpad
I think I just need to enable tapping in Xorg, but not sure how to go about this.
Also, should I file a bug report with KDE regarding Synaptiks crashing? If so, how to I go about getting them the right information?
Thanks.
