Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Hello Mattia,
I have a touchpad with only 2 buttons, and I want the following mapping
Tap -> button 1
Left button -> button 2
Right button -> button 3
(So I do not need to use Emulate3Buttons which give me the creep)
Unfortunately I could not see a way to configure
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics such that the tap and the left button
report different button numbers.
The hardware allows for that feature (the patch below do that in a
non-configurable way for both synaptics and ALPS touchpad).
As an aside, I wrote one of the first touchpad drivers in 1998 (inside
jamd and gpm) to allow this particular button setting, so it would be
a bit distressing it is not possible with current drivers.
Cheers,
