Public bug reported:
INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD should be set to indicate that my trackpad is a
clickpad, but it is not. The problem can be worked around by tweaking
the X.org configuration in the following way:
In X.org I use the following configuration in:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "ClickPad" "true"
[..]
EndSection
However, as Wayland's libinput does not have this option I run into issues.
For example right click doesn't work, or drag and drop with pressing with one
finger and moving with another.
The trackpad should be automatically recognized as a clickpad.
