EDIT: Apperantly this was just bad timing: something got stuck below the click area. After the right click got stuck as well I used a bit of force while pressing the click area and both keys got unstuck again.
I was playing around with gnome yesterday and also changing some touchpad settings there. After a short time I realized that the left click (mouse button 1) on my touchpad was disabled. I have definitely been able to use this left click recently and I'm pretty sure just before I started using gnome. And yes, I mean click and not tap.
Back in my normal dwm / xorg session the left click is still disabled.
The touchpad is recognized as 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' and I'm using libinput. There are no errors in my xorg.log in relation to the touchpad.
Here's how the touchpad is reacting right now (numbers being the mouse buttons):
|=========| (Not clickable)
|111111111| (Not sure if this is new, never used this before)
|XXX222333| (XXX clickable, but no effect, should be 11)And what I want:
|=========|
|=========|
|111222333|With xev I get no output for clicking the XXX area. All other areas register as expected.

Are you sure you're not using Wayland? If so, shouldn't you be configuring with something different? Note that I don't use gnome or Wayland, so I'm just going by the wiki and xinput's manual page.

Yes. As I wrote, the problem persists in my regular dwm / xorg session. The only touchpad configuration I'm doing is in my xinitrc:
# set touchpad options
TOUCHPAD="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
xinput enable "$TOUCHPAD"
xinput set-prop "$TOUCHPAD" "libinput Accel Speed" .8
xinput set-prop "$TOUCHPAD" "libinput Disable While Typing Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop "$TOUCHPAD" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1Last edited by null (2021-03-11 08:43:53)
