Andre: I gotta check ownership and permissions of both files, */etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf* and */usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf*??
Who should be the owner and what permissions should I set up? Sorry if the questions are too silly. By the way, what does it mean the result that synclient displayed ( *Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?)??* Thanks to everyone for your support and help. 2015-11-24 11:34 GMT-03:00 Andre Campos Rodovalho <[email protected] >: > Following the instructions of Eric's Link, you might need to create the* > /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf *file, than put the content: > > options psmouse proto=auto > > > > After that create */usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf* with the > content: > > Section "InputClass" > Identifier "touchpad" > MatchIsTouchpad "on" > MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" > Driver "synaptics" > Option "TapButton1" "1" > Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on" > EndSection > > > Check for files ownership and permissions..
