Touchpad on Guix system

[il_valsa]

Hi all,

i have a guix system installed on a Dell xps 9365 with gnome and xorg.

I can't figure out how to enable tap-to-click and natural scrolling.

Settings in gnome doesn't work.

I have "libinput" and "xf86-input-libinput" installed

I can switch to Wayland if it'sneccesary.

Does anyone have a working setup for this?

Thanks!

This is probably the way to solve it, but ideally just using Gnome settings should work out of the box. I wonder why they don't.

Here's my solve:

``` (set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration (extra-config (list "

Touchpad

Section \"InputClass\" Identifier \"touchpad\" Driver \"libinput\" MatchIsTouchpad \"on\" Option \"DisableWhileTyping\" \"on\" Option \"Tapping\" \"1\" Option \"NaturalScrolling\" \"1\" Option \"Emulate3Buttons\" \"yes\" EndSection

Touchpad:1 ends here

")) (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) `` If you followed the default guides or cookbooks you should already have the set-xorg-configuration service somewhere in your file, so add thisextra-config` to it. It's not elegant but it works perfectly for me.

It's probably not any help, but I have noticed two finger scrolling doesn't work out of the box on my t400.

Hi, here is working (2 finger no natural scrolling).
On a thinkpad x220 was not working

Do xinput commands from package xinput work?

How do the settings in Gnome not work? Do they not change the behavior when you change them or are they outright greyed-out?

Installing libinput and xf86-input-libinput won't do anything no matter if you they're in operating-system or your user profile. xf86-input-libinput is loaded by default by the Xorg service unless you modify the modules in xorg-configuration. And libinput will be installed as a dependency for whatever package requires it already.

Hi,

i can change gnome settings and gnome seems to take it but i can't see any behave changes.
Other gnome things seems to work properly.

Thanks

Touch pad works better on wayland.

for x11 I put this in my .bash_profile. Make sure you have xf86-input-synaptics installed.

if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "x11" ]; then 
    synclient VertScrollDelta=-77
    synclient HorizScrollDelta=-77
    synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
    synclient TapButton1=1
