Recent versions of xf86-input-synaptics
are configured through XInput2 properties, and synclient just emulates the old interface on top of that. (I think it just picks the first compatible device it can find.) Therefore you can use xinput
instead:
$ xinput list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
$ xinput set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Synaptics Tap Time" 180
In case of identical device names, specify the numeric device ID instead.
Note that Xorg will soon migrate from the evdev+synaptics drivers to xf86-input-libinput
, which is configurable only through XInput2 (and has slightly fewer settings, by the way).
$ xinput set-prop 11 "libinput Accel Speed" 1.0
