Configuring the synaptics driver

Postby QuantumKnot on September 14th, 2008, 1:28 pm

In your xorg.conf file, the following sections are needed (on Fedora 9, these aren't set correctly so you lose the tap-to-click functionality)

Code: Select all
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Synaptics"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option      "UpDownScrolling" "1"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "2"
EndSection



If you want some extra options, check the ones below out

Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "SynapticsTouchpad" ##This line matches name from step 1
    Driver        "synaptics"
    Option "AlwaysCore"
    Option        "SendCoreEvents"    "true"
    Option        "Protocol"        "event"
    Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
    Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
    Option "MinSpeed" "0.70"
    Option "MaxSpeed" "1.50"
    Option "AccelFactor" "0.730"
    Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
    Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
    Option "UpDownScrolling" "1"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection
