** Description changed: I'm trying to switch from the "fingers" click-method to the "areas" click-method, because tapping with three fingers is awkward and I find that my three-fingers taps are rarely registered as such. - * "fingers": single-finger tap for a click, two-finger tap for a right click, - three-finger tap for a middle click - * "areas": tap in the lower right corner for a right click, tap in the upper - right corner for a middle click + * "fingers": single-finger tap for a click, two-finger tap for a right + click, three-finger tap for a middle click + * "areas": tap in the lower right corner for a right click, tap in the + upper right corner for a middle click After running the following command: - gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method - "'areas'" + gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method \ + "'areas'" I can verify with gsettings get... that the click-method is now "areas", however tapping in the lower/upper right corners of the touchpad does not elicit the expected right/middle clicks, whereas tapping with two fingers elicits a right click. This remains the case even after rebooting the computer. It's as if the click-method was ignored and defaulted to "fingers". I couldn't find any similar bug reports and don't know how to investigate this problem further. I assume this problem is specific to my hardware, otherwise it would have been noticed already. I attach the output of the following commands: - cat /proc/bus/input/devices - xinput --list - xinput --list-props 13 # where 13 is the touchpad's ID + cat /proc/bus/input/devices + xinput --list + xinput --list-props 13 # where 13 is the touchpad's ID Should I report this issue to upstream libinput (www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput)? Or could this be something to do with GNOME instead? Using Ubuntu 20.04 with libinput 1.15.5-1 and xserver-xorg-input- libinput 0.29.0-1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877798 Title: The "areas" click-method doesn't work with "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" on "Clevo N141ZU" laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-libinput/+bug/1877798/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
