Touchpad tap doesn't work on a newly installed archlinux based garuda lxqt desktop
by jozmak from LinuxQuestions.org on (#598VT)
Hello,
I've just installed garuda lxqt desktop and the touchpad tapping feature doesn't work. Earlier, when I faced similar problem I just created a 40-libinput.conf or a 40-touchpad.conf file and copied them in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder and everything was fine. But this time this trick doesn't work. I searched google and I found that touchpad malfunction is common among arch based distros. But I couldn't find any solution to the problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.
