Hi all,
I'm a long time Linux user but very new Arch Linux user, been using it for a few hours now. I'm having problems with my touchpad on my laptop. I have gsynaptics and synaptics installed. When I try use syncliet I get
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
And when I try run gsynaptics
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
I have no xorg.conf file and am unsure where to find XF85Config.
Apprechiate any help offered.
Thanks

do a search for synaptics on the arch wiki, and especially check the "Configuration_on_the_fly" paragraph on the page you find.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

Hi,
Thanks, I've tried adding both true and 1 as options to that file with no sucess. Looking at
xinput -list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB 2.0 PC Cam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
I'm not even sure that Arch is even seeing the touchpad to try use it. Optical mouse is the USB mouse I have plugged in to actually be able to use the computer..
If using gpointing-device-settings, with the USB mouse plugged in it just shows that, if I remove that USB mouse, the following happens.
$gpointing-device-settings
Segmentation fault
.
Thanks
