If instead of disabling it, I want to increase the “scrolling distance” (reduce scrolling sensitivity) I would change “Synaptics Scrolling Distance· (initially set to 58, 58)
xinput set-prop 13 “Synaptics Scrolling Distance” 200 200
This made my trackpad scrolling veeeery slow (less sensitive)
(more info (but not exactly the same) here: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad)That is exactly what I wanted to do, except I set the numbers each to 100 to see the effect, and maybe adjust a bit more afterwards.
…
I must say, this xinput route has given me a bit more hope of not having to replace AntiX on my eMMC computer. So I’ll ask my wife to work with the computer a bit more and see if there is any change.
I forgot to write that you will need to add that xinput command to your startup file, as xinput changes will reset on restart.
I found that in skidoo’s article about IceWM, the startup file can be found here: ~/.icewm/startup
There is only 1 parameter that baffles me: Synaptics Off. On my AntiX computer it is set to 0, on my Mint computer it is set to 2. I have not changed this on my AntiX computer, and the touchpad is active. I have not been able to get good info on this – do you know what it means?
If what I found in the synaptics’ man page online is correct, the values for SynapticsOff mean:
0 Touchpad is enabled
1 Touchpad is switched off
2 Only tapping and scrolling is switched off
One last thing I forgot to add.
Yes, it was /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf
Changes here only take effect after reboot (if I am not mistaken), or if you reload the device (which I don’t know how to).
Edit: noClue also found it out. I wasn’t fast enough.
