[ellipse55]

Hi all,

I've just had the big upgrade (5 - 1500 packages approx.) on my lmde xfce system (on an ASUS a52f laptop) and tapping to click on the touchpad no longer works. Two-finger scrolling and moving the cursor around do still work fine. I've tried using gpointing-device-settings (with sudo) but I get an error message when launching the program (it does launch anyway) and after executing: "An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)." Would somebody have an an idea on how I could solve this problem...

Thanks in advance for all responses.
Pierre.

Hmmm, what does:

Code: Select all

synclient tapbutton1=1

return?

It returns perfection! It has solved the problem. Many thanks!
