Public bug reported:
It's no longer working by default nor can it be enabled thru syndaemon.
It does appear it can be enabled thru libinput (xserver-xorg-input-libinput),
(not default installed), however System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad does not
interface with xserver-xorg-input-libinput so installing it removes any
touchpad settings.
Is there anyway to restore this via syndaemon or allow
xserver-xorg-input-libinput & system settings ... to work together & present
touchpad settings to users?
This represents a regression to users that shouldn't be happening in an lts
release.
The 'working' method in libinput requires adding to
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf a line Option "DisableWhileTyping"
"true" ie. -
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true"
EndSection
