5.0-Current and Synaptics Touch Pad
I just updated current yesterday and noted that the changelog has enabled xf86-input-synaptics - my understanding is that I do not have to patch the kernel now. I have configured the synaptics touchpad previously in linux and use the touch pad exclusively as a pointing device.
The xorg.conf below gives a moving mouse cursor but no tap-to-click Code:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "wsmouse" Option "Device" "/dev/wsmouse" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" Option "HorizEdgeScrool" "true" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Builtin Default sis Device 0" Driver "sis" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Builtin Default sis Screen 0" Device "Builtin Default sis Device 0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Builtin Default vesa Device 0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0" Device "Builtin Default vesa Device 0" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" Identifier "Builtin Default Layout" Screen "Builtin Default sis Screen 0" Screen "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0" EndSection Code:
(EE) Synaptics Driver unable to detect protocol (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Mouse0" Has anyone set this up? |

So. Many. Knobs.
There are several ways to configure synaptics, and as jggimi, on systems that support syntaptics the X server now automatically loads the synaptics driver. Without an xorg.conf, you can use synclient(1) or xinput(1) to set your preferences, if you still prefer xorg.conf you'll likely have to prevent the autoconfiguration of input devices. I believe there is a reference to this on the mailing lists or in the -current FAQ. |

I renamed the xorg.conf to a backup file and used synclient in my .xsession and so far tap-to-left-click works well. Thanks |

That's good, these devices are a little weird in that they emulate PS/2 mice in the absence of a synaptics driver.
In PS/2 mode, special features like tap to click might be supported by the firmware, so some people upgrading from 4.9 or earlier may have some functionality suddenly disappear in 5.0. People need to pay attention to changes like this. |
