Scope
Fedora tries to make various desktop environments available to its users. Since Fedora tries to stay as close to upstream as possible, we follow the various defaults selected by the desktop environment upstreams. Generally, this entails a disabled touchpad click by default. This wiki page tries to compile the different methods that can be used to enable "tapping" on various desktop environments.
Desktop configurations
GNOME
The "mouse and touchpad" utility can be used to enable tapping and set scrolling options in GNOME.
KDE
LXDE
Copy the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Then, in your favourite text editor, modify this file as such:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" #################################### ## Two lines that you need to add ## # Enable left mouse button by tapping Option "TapButton1" "1" # Enable vertical scrolling Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" # Enable right mouse button by tapping lower right corner Option "RBCornerButton" "3" #################################### MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" EndSection
For more information on tweaking xorg.conf.d files, please read the man page:
man xorg.conf
XFCE
XFCE in Fedora 18 will be version 4.10 which will have a utility similar to GNOME
For Fedora <= 17, and therefore XFCE <= 4.8:
Copy the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Then, in your favourite text editor, modify this file as such:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" #################################### ## Two lines that you need to add ## # Enable left mouse button by tapping Option "TapButton1" "1" # Enable vertical scrolling Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" # Enable right mouse button by tapping lower right corner Option "RBCornerButton" "3" #################################### MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" EndSection
For more information on tweaking xorg.conf.d files, please read the man page:
man xorg.conf
MATE
Other window managers
Copy the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Then, in your favourite text editor, modify this file as such:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" #################################### ## Two lines that you need to add ## # Enable left mouse button by tapping Option "TapButton1" "1" # Enable vertical scrolling Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" # Enable right mouse button by tapping lower right corner Option "RBCornerButton" "3" #################################### MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" EndSection
