Tap to click stopped working

[steve192]

Hi, I've set up your script to start at system start. It works fine until I open an application. The guestures to change the workscreen still work, but the standart ubuntu guestures (tap to click and 2 fingers scroll) stop working. I use Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell XPS 13 (Developer Edition).

Your script is awesome by the way ;)

Greetings Steve

Edit: I just found out, this only occurs if I start your script automaticly with the usersession.

It may be because collision between synclient and syndaemon. Please try this.[https://github.com/iberianpig/xSwipe/archive/e39800f21c1c33f38c3794d367d657f355296356.zip]

Hi, I am having the same issue in elementary OS. When I use the file above the two finger scroll and tap to click works, but 3 finger + touch events seem to register very very rarely and are very insensitive.

I am running kernel 3.11.0-15

@iberianpig Sorry for my late answer. But whatever you changed, it works now. Thank you!

Edit: another "bug" (or fault of me ?!): When I set a guesture to press alt + left or alt+right ( backwards and forwards in browsers ) with "LAL/RIG" and "LAL/LEF" the only thing that happens is that the unity hud opens as if only the alt key was pressed. Is this a fault in my configuration or a bug?

[iberianpig]

@Squishier Please try "-d" option. This option make threshold of swipe event shorter. e.g) $perl xSwipe -d 0.1

[iberianpig]

@Steve192 Please try below, right => "RAL/LAL/RIG", # alt + right left => "RAL/LAL/LEF", # alt + left

Using both "Right Alt" and "Left Alt", it should work well.

Hi! I had the same problem with the master branch breaking tap-to-click and two-finger scroll so I tried the fix, but 4-finger gestures don't work on it.

[snoxu]

May I ask what's different in the fixed version?

Also does it mean running syndaemon will always conflict with xSwipe?

Cheers

Hi @snoxu. The version isn't include code to control touchpadOff command that is synclient base. Perhaps the master version's bug is caused by syndaemon and synclient call touchpadOff command at same time.

@jaycech3n
Please check synclient -m command. If the output isnt' include f = 4, its touchpad is unable to use 4 fingers gesture.

Didn't quite understand what you posted.

The version of xswipe you posted here doesn't seem to solve the problem. I noticed there's another about the xorg driver which seems to be more or less about the same problem.
