Description Fede 2015-04-17 11:39:13 UTC 
Hi,

For my touchpad, when using libinput it seems both scrolling methods work simultaneously even when not really enabled.

Let me clarify this. In GNOME settings I do not have two-finger scrolling enabled however both two-finger scrolling and side-scrolling work at the same time. I can use either one. Then, if I enable two-finger scrolling, only two-finger scrolling works (and edge scrolling stops working).

So within the GNOME settings, when checking:

Two finger scroll: I get two finger scroll

When unchecking:

Two finger scroll: I get two finger scroll + side scroll

Any ideas why that happens?

⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]

At the same time, while tap to click works in GNOME, I can't get it to work on GDM. Once in GNOME, tap to click works as expected. I assumed adding this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-libinput.conf would do the job but tap to click does not work still. Any ideas on this too?

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "enable tapping and edge scrolling"
        MatchDriver "libinput"
        Option "ScrollMethod" "edge"
        Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection

Thanks!

are you on Fedora 22? if so, the gdm screen is already Wayland-enabled and your xorg.conf won't apply - the X server is started after login.

    touchpad: don't post 2fg scrolling when edge scrolling is enabled
Comment 4 Fede 2015-04-23 01:14:19 UTC 
Hi Peter, I'm using Arch. GDM is wayland enabled but without an interface to configure the settings for how the touchpad should behave there is no way (at least not obvious to me) to set GDM to use tap to click for example.

How do I set tap to click on GDM (wayland enabled)? I can only change the settings once I log into GNOME but then those settings are not effective on the GDM greeter.

Thank you!

hmm, I don't know for sure but that's something you might want to file a GNOME bug for. gdm has gsettings somewhere, I don't know off-hand how to set it though, sorry.
