[SOLVED] Synaptics touchpad: SHMConfig turned on but cannot configure
Hi all!
My first post. Yay!
I've always thought Arch was was an interesting distro since a friend explained the pros of it, but I have been too comfortable in the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint world to actually give it a serious go. Until now. I want to try out KDE4.3 and Kubuntu seemed to always keep breaking on me. So here I am.
Now for my problem. I am running the alpha 3 version of the Chakra Project which I am supposing is simply Arch with KDEmod. My synaptics touchpad seems to be working properly being configured in HAL and not xorg.conf. I can turn it on or off, enable or disable edge scrolling, change acceleration, etc using the synclient tool. However, the hardware buttons on my laptop are kind of broken so I really need to enable corner tapping for right click and middle click... and that is what I cannot do. Any ideas?
Here is my 11-x11-synaptics.fdi file

Thanks in advance!
[EDIT] I just realised that 2 finger tapping is actually working as left click while 3 finger tapping works as middle click... which kind of eases the problem, but I would still like to get the corner tapping working as that is what I am used to.

Re: [SOLVED] Synaptics touchpad: SHMConfig turned on but cannot configure
Ok I just had a 'duuuh' moment. I studied my configs in closer detail and I found the problem. I didn't have the correct figures for defining the edges of my touchpad. Editing the location of the left edge fixed it. I changed this line:
RightEdge = 5350
And thats all! Scrolling and corner tapping works just like i want it to. In case someone else has this problem, you can check the limits of your touchpad using
synclient -m 10
