[SOLVED] asus touchpad xinput problem

i have an asus x540s with asus touchpad.i installed arch linux with budgie de and lightdm . the touchpad works but TAP to click doesn't
so i tried

sudo xinput set-prop 11 277 1

device id=11
it worked but i need to manually do it everytime. so i added the below to ~/.xprofile

#!/bin/bash
xinput set-prop 11 277 1

made it executable by 

chmod +x ~/.xprofile

but nothing happens when i reboot. what to do?

Re: [SOLVED] asus touchpad xinput problem

Does Budgie read .xprofile? Use a conf file: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … figuration

Arch + dwm   •   Mercurial repos  •   Surfraw

Re: [SOLVED] asus touchpad xinput problem

        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
	option "Tapping" "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"

Re: [SOLVED] asus touchpad xinput problem

The configlet is applied:

[    27.363] (II) event7  - (II) Asus TouchPad: (II) is tagged by udev as: Touchpad
[    27.363] (II) event7  - (II) Asus TouchPad: (II) no resolution or size hints, assuming a size of 69x50mm
[    27.363] (II) event7  - (II) Asus TouchPad: (II) device is a touchpad
[    27.364] (II) event7  - (II) Asus TouchPad: (II) device removed
[    27.400] (**) Option "Tapping" "on"

Something else™ resets the value. Likely your desktop session or lightdm?
Does tapping work in lightdm and what happens if you run your desktop session resp. an openbox session using startx?

yes it is working during the lightdm greeter but once i log in i have to manually set it.

Re: [SOLVED] asus touchpad xinput problem

Means your "budgie" resets it - they blame gnome-settings (ie. the gnome defaults?)
https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgi … issues/175

But "your distribution not disables configuration via gnome-control-center + gnome-settings-daemon", because rch doesn't, this is a per user configuration and a distro certainly does not do anything via GUI user tools.
I assume budgie is some sort of gnome-shell derivate with little insight on the gnome defaults and what gnome-shell might or not do on session startup (what in part is to override anything with it's local gnome-only settings ...)

Install gnome (or at least gsettings) and follow https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help … ck.html.en resp. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … g_in_GNOME
