Launchmagic 5 0 0 – robust application launching utility. The following command will tell you whether you have a Synaptics, ALPS or Elantech touchpad:
(Elantech support was enabled in Linux kernel 2.6.32-4.)
Some desktop environments such as GNOME and KDE can allow you to adjust settings of your touchpad through a graphical system settings panel.
If you can't find a Touchpad or Synaptics tab in your system settings, or the settings you wish to change cannot be changed through the GUI, follow the instructions below to configure system-wide via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf. However, be aware that it is likely your desktop preferences, if you have them, will override your system-wide settings.
In most cases, make sure you have xserver-xorg-input-libinputxserver-xorg-input-evdevxserver-xorg-input-mouse installed, and not the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package.
Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev for more info on evdev.
On GNOME, click the system menu (top-right corner), select System Settings, then select 'Mouse and Touchpad' (under Hardware).
On KDE:
Install the kde-config-touchpad package.
On GNOME, go to System -> Preferences -> Mouse, there should be a 'Touchpad' tab.
On KDE:
Install the kde-config-touchpad package.
Go to System Settings -> Input Devices, there should be a 'Touchpad' tab.
This manual will tell you all the options that are available for the synaptics driver:
At start, Xorg reads vendor-supplied configuration commands from directory /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d (details in man xorg.conf.d).
If you want to override the defaults system-wide, use a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf, for configuration (but this will work just as well in a combined /etc/X11/xorg.conf file). /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d contains distro-supplied samples which can be copied over (or at least keep an eye on their settings when creating your own configuration). The following example shows how to enable tapping and how to configure various other options; you probably won't need everything in it. Comment out any old config for synaptics before replacing it with this new config.
(xserver-xorg-input-synaptics has tapping disabled by default for touchpads with one or more physical buttons; see /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/NEWS.Debian.gz. For a list of available options, see synclient -l . Not all options are appropriate; for example, Elantech touchpads don't support pressure, and many other touchpads don't support multitouch.)
It is normal for a touchpad to be presented as both a Synaptics device and as an ImPS/2 device. If this is so, then /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show that X has found a touchpad on /dev/input/event6 (for example) and probably also that it has failed to do so on /dev/input/mouse0 (for example). This is fine.
If multitouch doesn't work for you, your hardware may not support it, but you can use the following options to emulate multitouch which allows most of the features to work. Try adding these lines to the Touchpad section (shown above):
You can check which buttons are reported in Xorg.0.log to see if you have multitouch. A touchpad without this capability reports only the usual 'left', 'right' and 'middle' buttons:
A touchpad with multitouch reports 'double' for two-finger multitouch and 'triple' for three-finger multitouch:
Debian 9 'Stretch' is using libinput driver
syndaemon is able to help with a number of things, including palm-check and such. one possibility for loading this at X startup for all users is to add a separate file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d (i.e. /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98x11-syndaemon)
This also loads settings from the qsynaptics control panel. This can of course be omitted. If you leave it in, you should make sure all new users have sensible options set by copying a working .qsynaptics to /etc/skel.
Sometimes when resuming from hibernate/suspend mode, the touchpad may stop working, even if synclient reports it as activated.
The following solutions were reported to get the touchpad working again:
or
or
Warning: this should NOT be done from within an X session (or the X server will crash), but from a virtual console. E.g.:
Go to a virtual console, press Ctrl-Alt-F2
Log in as root and unload/load the relevant kernel module, e.g. modprobe -r psmouse ; modprobe psmouse
Go back to the X session, press Ctrl-Alt-F1
The synaptic Xorg driver in being superseded by the newer libinput driver, which can provide lower-level access to multi touch events to clients, but is currently lacking some features found in the older driver.
You can make the synaptics driver take precedence over libinput by copying /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, so as to make it take precendence over the libinput configuration file found at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf.
The synclient and syndaemon commands don't work with the libinput driver and will instead exit with an error message such as:
The synaptics driver is provided by xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Play ios games on mac. The libinput driver is provided by xserver-xorg-input-libinput.
To reenable a disabled touchpad in gnome on stretch:
Some devices have function keys to enable and disable the touchpad; after the initial transition from the synaptics driver to the libinput driver, those devices may default to disabling the touchpad. Toggling the touchpad enable/disable keyboard key may be required to get the touchpad working again.
