Sometime, I face the problem of TouchPad configuration in Lubuntu. My laptop have too sensitive TouchPad.
This tool configure the touchpad through xinput with GUI, and no need to gnome or another heavy environment/dependencies.
- python and python-tk
- xinput command
for Python3
$ sudo apt intall python3
$ sudo apt intall python3-tk
$ sudo apt intall xf86-input-synaptics
for Python2
$ sudo apt intall python
$ sudo apt intall python-tk
$ sudo apt intall xf86-input-synaptics
$ git clone https://github.com/kuri65536/touchpadtuner.git
$ cd touchpadtuner
$ python touchpadtuner2.py
append the script shortcut into your openbox configuration file. in my case (Lubuntu): ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml.
<keybind key="XF86TouchpadToggle">
<action name="Execute">
<command>bash -c 'eval $HOME/bin/note-toggle-touchpad.py'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
then reload the configuration file by command (or reboot your computer.)
$ openbox-lubuntu --reconfigure
same as touchpad.
<keybind key="W-p">
<action name="Execute">
<command>bash -c 'eval $HOME/bin/note-toggle-display.py'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
my laptop (E203NA) FN+f8 key generate the events
keydown: state 0x0, keycode 133
keydown: state 0x40, keycode 33
keyup: state 0x40, keycode 133
keycode 133 is Super_L, so keybind is W-p
.
- Write down or modify file:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptic.conf
, to make the changes to permanent. - Made GUI for some missing params. ( I solved the sensitive touchpad with FingerLow and FingerHigh parameters. I don't use another params. )
- (my touchpad problem) Incorrect scroll up/down in typing.
- (my touchpad problem) Syndaemon stop with two finger scroll.
