Title: Mouse moving when tapping
Post by: davidb on 2012/12/28, 14:54:31

Hello,

I am using ridersonthestorm with KDE on a Lenovo Thinkpad edge with a synaptic touchpad.
When I use 1 finger tap to click, the mouse pointer is moving a bit around. Means very often, I move the pointer over a link, tap to open it but then it taps a few milimeters away from it. This doesn't happen in windows.
I already installed kde-config-touchpad but there is no option to set the sensivity for tapping.
Are there any other ways to configure that?
Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance for any help.

David

Hi David,

The command

Code Select

man synaptic will show you all of the options that the synaptic driver knows. For better readability it can also b found here (http://linux.die.net/man/4/synaptics).

Before adding anything to the configuration, as root, do:

Code Select

cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-siduction.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-siduction.conf

Then you do your changes and additions to the copy in /etc. This is because a user should not edit anything in /usr directly.

We btw. also have a german section, but you english is fine. So up to you, where you want to post.

Thanks for your reply. I will play around with those settings when I got time for it.
To apply new settings, I just have to restart the x-server?

For these settings, yes.
