Double tab touchpad issue
by miwh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TSB0)
Hey there,
I own a Microsoft Surface Pro Laptop/Tablet on which I recently install FerenOS. Besides the touchpad everything seems to work straight after installing.
With Windows I was able to double-tap the touchpad and move my finger across to select text, or double-tap a window and move my finger to move the window.
For some reason this is not working within FerenOS. If I double-tap on text only that word is selected (same as Windows), if I double-tap and move my finger across the touchpad nothing is selected.
I just want to be able to select text and move windows/tabs by double-tapping instead of using the physical touchpad keys.
On GitHub I read somewhere to add 2 lines to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf, which I did.
Under Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" I added:
Option "Tapping" "on"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8"
Any ideas on how to resolve this missing feature would be greatly appreciated.
