Better trackpad driver #5

Open soppelmann opened 5 years ago

soppelmann commented 5 years ago

The native chromium driver feels to use better than the synaptic driver

Suggestion for improvement: Include install notes for https://github.com/hugegreenbug/xf86-input-cmt

I was not aware of this driver. I sold my 2013 Pixel, but I'll pass this information on to the current owner. If she confirms this I'll update the README.

I might also try this driver on my 2015 Pixel LS. Input drivers on that device are a bit wiggy due to the touchscreen, but I'll give it a run.

Touchscreen and trackpad works as good as on native for me, had to compile from source, my aur-helper didnt like it.

The only issue is that chromium doesn't react to two finger swipe back on the trackpad as a last page in history command but this has to do with the flag #touchpad-overscroll-history-navigation not being available on linux but only Windows and ChromeOS. I think could be solved by compiling the ChromeOS version of chromium or modifying the source of chromium but I haven't tried either yet. https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/9da6a79f00b05144ed9784be63a9df70ef97c339 line 47 https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code "linux-chromeos (runs the Chrome OS version of Chrome on Linux)"

Two finger back swipe on touchscreen works as expected though.
