Hi guys,
I am just trying out lxde with fedora 12. It seems like i cant activate the tap on the trackpad.
What works --> synclient TapButton1=1 until i reboot.
To make it permanent, I have followed this article http://fedorasolved.org/Members/khaytsu ... -using-hal but to no avail.
I am really pulling my hair here.
I am using openbox and from what i gather that might be the issue because I dont get any other menu than keyboard and mouse.
I have installed gsynaptics as well but that did not help either.
I would much appreciate any type of help because i have exhausted all areas possible.
Kind Regards,
trackpad; tap is disabled

Re: trackpad; tap is disabled
Look in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and put whatever initialization commands you want to run when you log in at the top. You should just be able to put your "synclient" command there, if it is doing what you need. Be sure to leave the "@" off because this asks lxsession to restart the command if it exits. For example, I have some xset commands there to set up DPMS the way I want it.
Re: trackpad; tap is disabled
thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I added in
@synclient TapButton1=1 in autostart but to no avail. I am really confused because if I run this command in the terminal once the unit has booted, i can use the tap switch on my trackpad.
very confusing indeed. I have been wrecking my head for the past two days on this

Re: trackpad; tap is disabled
Kindly review where I said "be sure to leave the @ off". I am not sure that will help you however, it should just cause a loop. Maybe someone else with a Synaptics has it working.

Sorry I did misread you.
I will try again without the @.
My apologies again

Re: trackpad; tap is disabled
I just had an idea and don't know if this is viable.
Would it be possible to just add a xorg.conf file and correct the issue of the trackpad there ?
Kind Regards,
