I have questions about configuring my touchpad
Ok, so I installed openbsd a couple days ago. My laptop's touchpad works but doesn't have two-finger scrolling, and didn't have tap to click/select functionality.
Last night I switched to current flavor, and today I decided to tackle trying configure the touchpad. I came across this post, which recommends configuring through synaptics and copying /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf to make the actual changes: http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=10902 Then I found a different post about new defaults in X, and that the current flavor no longer will support synaptics, so the new way that is recommended is to use wsconsctl and wsmouse0: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabbl...-td332278.html I was able to get tap to select working with the wsconsctl/wsmouse0 method but can't figure out how to get horizontal and vertical 2 finger scrolling working which is why I want to try configure with synaptics... My questions are: 1. Which method should I use to configure my touchpad? 2. will anything bad happen if I configure with synaptics while using current? (seems easier than wsmouse0) 3. If I have to configure wsconsctl and wsmouse0, do I make the configurations in this file? /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance. Please excuse me if they are dumb questions I have only been an openbsd user for a week or so. |
