libinit help.

Had to reinstall my system today. I remember having to add a file to get tapping, tap drag and reverse scroll to work. I can;t get tapping or tapdrag to work but for some reason i got the reverse scroll direction to work. I followed this guide: https://linuxhint.com/change_mouse_touc … put_linux/

I've read through the wiki, I can't get it to work. Help? lol Thanks in advance.

output of "xinput --list-props 11" :

Re: libinit help.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
