Right click touchpad

As of right now, I have my synaptics touchpad to right click when I tap the bottom right corner. I'd prefer it, however, if I could get the same thing by just tapping with two fingers anywhere. Is it possible?

Re: Right click touchpad

man synaptics and the synaptics website are worth looking at.

Tried that and looked there. The tapbutton option just makes it work in a corner.

Re: Right click touchpad

Then you have done something wrong, I have 3 laptops with touchpads, all custom configured with 2 finger right click and 3 finger middle click.

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Identifier  "TouchPad"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option      "RTCornerButton"        "0"
    Option      "RBCornerButton"        "0"
    Option      "LTCornerButton"        "0"
    Option      "LBCornerButton"        "0"
    Option        "RightEdge"            "5570"
    Option        "TapButton2"        "3"
    Option        "TapButton3"        "2"
    Option        "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "1"
EndSection

Re: Right click touchpad

You could try disabling them like I did, they annoyed me when I was scrolling so they had to go.

Re: Right click touchpad

I'll give that a try. How did you find the dimensions for the right edge?

Re: Right click touchpad

Trial and error, my scroll section was way too big, so I kept increasing that number until it was where I wanted it. You can run this to find out what the current settings are:

synclient -l

With something like:

synclient RightEdge=5570

You can change it without restarting X, then when you have it where you want it, you can make the permanent change to xorg.conf.

Re: Right click touchpad

Space your fingers apart, if you tap with them both close together, it won't work.

Re: Right click touchpad

That didn't seem to help at all. It's a synaptic touchpad on yours, right?

Re: Right click touchpad

I am fairly certain it is. I believe my C600 has an ALPS pad, and it works exactly the same.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=12b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0

Re: Right click touchpad

It's telling me I have any alps, but everything else works fine, even the driver. Should I just do it the other way?

Not that this is urgent, but I'd still like it.

xorg.conf

Option      "SendCoreEvents"

This make the right click the bottom right corner and middle click top right. Still would prefer to have it be two and three fingers.

Re: Right click touchpad

To make sure your touchpad support more than one finger, run

synclient -m 100

Play with your toucpad then and you'll see many columns of information. The one you are looking for is "f" which tells you how many fingers are pressing the touchpad. Maybe you are unfortunate as I am and multifinger won't be supported by your touchpad sad

Re: Right click touchpad

Is that hardware wise or more kernel wise? AKA, can it be changed?
