please attach your xorg.log and an evemu recording. http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/reporting_bugs.html has more info. that link is for libinput, not synaptics, but the info we need is pretty much the same. Created attachment 1062286 [details]

evemu recording of 'right-click' on macbook pro touchpad
evemu recording of a 'right-click' attempt (two fingers down, then thumb clicking, as expected from this machine under Mac OS X and Windows). Can provide also with fewer or more fingers down. :)
Also let me know if I'm in the wrong component; not sure this is synaptics actually... After some more fiddling with the machine I stumbled accidentally on a click method that works and produces a right-click -- I have to click separately with two separate fingers very close together at very nearly the same time. It seems this is a much narrower definition of 'two-finger click' than Mac OS X accepts. :) I wonder if it would be useful to have diagrams or videos showing how the click/tap gestures work in the touchpad settings dialog. I can get used to a different behavior, but need to be able to discover it. ok, that makes it a lot easier to explain now :) First: you're using libinput, not synaptics, which is the new driver. synaptics had a clickfinger distance of 30% of the touchpad diagonal, libinput has a slightly different behaviour. there are some explanatory diagrams here: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/clickpad_softbuttons.html the big difference in libinput is that it's using thumb detection to detect accidental clicks. when two fingers are on the touchpad, it checks if one of them is a thumb and discounts that. so you can move with one finger, click with the thumb and still get a left button click. for right-click you'll have to have two fingers close enough together (within a 40x30mm box). middle click should be triggered by any 3-finger combination though. you'll need libinput 0.21 for that btw, the behaviour was a bit different in 0.20. I'm going to close this one out and reopen a more focused bug later; using the proper finger invocation everything works. Thanks for the help! |
