Hello there!
I am having a bit of an issue here with my touchpad: I want it to have tap to click and double finger scrolling, which is disabled by default. I am using xfce4, so no graphical configuration tool for my touchpad.
I have been using for years the configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf/xx-synaptics.conf and that worked fine, even in testing (now I am using jeesie), but now I could write in there all the options I want or the list of my third grade birthday parties, that it would have the same effect (loads of nothing).
What other options do I have to configure my touchpad? Is in there any program to configure my touchpad?
Thank you in advance.
I put a copy of my 50-synaptics.conf, but I have been changing it all afternoon and I didn't get it to work
