[SOLVED]Inverted behaviour of two/three finger on ASUS N550JK touchpad

Hello,

I just installed Arch Linux with XFCE4 on an ASUS N550JK laptop. I recently had Debian Jessie installed on the same pc with XFCE4, and the two-finger tap corresponded to the right-button click on mouse, while the three-finger tap corresponded to middle-button click. Somehow, on archlinux this behaviour is inverted. Is it possibile to exchange it? I looked in 'Mouse and Touchpad' settings, and also here since the models are basically identical, but I couldn't find any help. I obviously installed the xf86-input-synaptics package.

Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble, I should have read this wiki more thoroughly.

I just had to copy

sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

and then edit the lines of the file 50-synaptics.conf

...
 Option "TapButton2" "2"
 Option "TapButton3" "3"
...

into

...
 Option "TapButton2" "3"
 Option "TapButton3" "2"
...

then terminate the session and restart it.
