how to enable touchpad tap click Xfce

fastestOS · 08-30-2009, 03:51 AM

Hello. I just installed Slackware 13 and chose Xfce as my default desktop.
It all went smooth and good but the only thing that I lost from previous version was the touchpad tap click.

Does anyone know how to enable touchpad tap click on Xfce?
Didn't find any on the Xfce Settings.

Btw, I love the new xfce and Slackware! Another outstanding work from the Slackware team and Xfce team.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know if the above solution works, but i am not willing to edit those horrible fdi files if theres an alternative.
On my system, i uncommented the options line in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf and now tapping works.

Yes that option does work fine but gives only the basic tap/click support.
If that's all you need then it's likely the best option.

By setting up the options in the fdi file you can do things such as two-finger tap for R-mouse-click, 3 for middle mouse, two-finger scrolling etc...

More pain more gain I guess
