Mouse/Touchpad settings
Post by Daedalus79 » Sat Jan 19, 2019 8:37 am
first i thought i would not post this much, but now this is my second post already
Why is is that if i go to mouse settings in Cinnamon i can also edit touchpad settings, but when i am in MATE (preferred) i can only see mouse settings and not touchpad settings.
Another kind of related question : the 2 finger scroll function : is that something softwarematic, or does that need to include hardware as well? It seems I cannot set my touch pad to do 2 finger scrolling although it is set in Cinnamon ( remember that i cannot set anything in MATE because there is no menu for that)

How the touchpad behaves depends on a number of factors, including the hardware, the firmware, the kernel and userspace drivers as well as input libraries. You may have to change or update one of them.
grep -i touchpad /var/log/Xorg.0.logRe: Mouse/Touchpad settings

I even went through all the logs in var/log/Xorg but touchpad does not show.
however replacing touchpad for sentelic :

https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/libinput.4 has this on the page when it comes to libinput (generic linux driver that the touchpad uses)
Option «ScrollMethod» «string»
Enables a scroll method. Permitted values are none, twofinger, edge, button. Not all devices support all options, if an option is unsupported, the default scroll option for this device is used.
but i am not sure where to put this
I can set the 2 finger option in Cinnamon but that does nothing (at least no 2finger scroll)

This already starts when i search mouse in the start menu, in Ci it says mouse and touchpad while in Mate is just says mouse.
