Hi, my synaptics settings
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
keep getting overridden by some deamon to
TapButton2=3 and TapButton3=2
I am using xfce, but I have gnome-deamon running, but as per wiki advice I have
Run dconf-editor
Edit /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/mouse/
Uncheck the active setting
And I don't know what else could be overriding my settings... I have temporarily solved it with script which runs synclient on boot, but that is only a workaround...

Are you sure there is not an 11-synaptics.conf or a 50-synaptics.conf installed by a package that is overriding your settings?
You need to install an RTFM interface.

I am also interested in the solution to this. My settings seem to be overriden by something. BTW I am running kde.
Edit: Turns out it must have been synaptiks. I changed my settings from in there and now everithing works!

I have HP 4530s having same issue. When i try for startx It shows same error: I tried to write this configuration on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf but didnt find this file on my OS. My OS is Oracle Linux 5.5 64bit.
Can some one help me to resolve this issue.

Just wondering: what is the issue with running synclient on boot? I've always done it this way and it seems to work whereas there often seem to be complaints that alternative methods don't. So I assume there's an advantage to the latter but what is it, exactly? That is, why is the way I do it "only a work around"?

Nauman:
You should go ask on Oracle's forums. We only support Arch.

In gnome I use this method to make tapbutton settings persistant (uses a gnome hook, so gnome settings daemon won't override it), don't know if it will work in xfce though.

Hi, I'm Jazzcat.
I've just installed and am trying Arch for the first time so my apologies if I've made a noob mistake here or miss out any required info.
I'm using KDE and have synaptiks installed. Config through the GUI works fine, but it fails to save settings when i reboot. Nothing jumped out at me in systemd. My best guess is it either doesn't have the appropriate permissions, or is getting overwritten by another daemon. I would greatly appreciate any assistance/ideas. I'll keep googling, but I'm kinda stumped on this one.
xorg.conf.d]$ ls
10-evdev.conf 10-quirks.conf 10-synaptics.conf
(I noticed here that unlike Cz-David I didn't have 10-evdev.conf.pacsave but I couldn't find any info on it.)
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

Do those settings not persist? Or are those not the settings you want?
(You probably don't have a .pacsave - read the wiki page on pacman for details.)

Thank you for your prompt response cfr, I've just read up on pacnew and pacsave files from the wiki. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with that sorry I missed it.
I'm just checking over how the 10-synaptics.conf displays to see if that is the desired configuration. Will post more info shortly.
I understand that I may have to adjust settings via .conf files, but I am hoping to have synaptiks and other GUI tools handle such things where possible.
Offline
Ok, upon review the settings in 10-synaptics.conf are the settings the system reverts to upon reboot.
The desired settings do show up (once I've adjusted them via synaptiks) when I run
$synclient -l | awk '/=/{printf "Option \"%s\" \"%s\"\n",$1,$3}'
Option "TapButton1" "0"
Option "TapButton2" "1"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Editing 10-synaptics.conf persists ok as a workaround.

A little further info.

Maybe it's a permission problem?

Yep, my bad. I ran
chown -R christopher:users /home/christopher
which appears to have resolved the issue. I did temporarily lose the ability to shutdown via the gui but it's ok after a force shutdown (because I made a mistake and logged out when I believe I should have run sudo reboot)
I also had a few issues with other options in systemsettings that have also been resolved. There must have been something wrong with the way I have been adding items to systemsettings.
Thank you kindly for your assistance ^_^
Edit: The above command appears to have messed up my samba shares as they are are not unmounting on shutdown/reboot, so my system hangs. I've made a post here
