Haven't been able to set up xorg.conf to solve the issue. Following gapan's advice I created the following file and saved it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf :

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "touchpad"
       Driver "synaptics"
       MatchIsTouchpad "on"
              Option "TapButton2" "3"
              Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
EndSection

but that doesn't give the desired outcome.

'synclient -l' gives me current touchpad settings. I guess they must be stored in a file somewhere, which can be edited, but no idea where to find it.

Since my homemade solution adding lines to /etx/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart works, no big deal. But IMHO things were easier when one had a 'proper' xorg.conf file to fiddle with (really easy with gxorgmaker)

The equivalent file here is differently named, and you need to edit that file, not create a new one "10-synaptics.conf". Try:

ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Yes, I can see from your previous posting that in your case the file was named /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf , not 10-synaptics.conf
However, on my install there was no folder /xorg.conf.d/ and consequently no files to edit. What I did was to create the folder, and then I named the file after gapan's post.
Maybe I need to add something to /etc/udev/rules.d/ as well?

What Salix flavour are you using? I see you've got LXDE ... so maybe it doesn't deal with this in the same way. Anyway, you've solved the practical problem with autostart.

Yes, I've wondered if it has something to do with lxde. But as you say, the practical problem is solved. Thanks for input and comments!
