Package: xorg Version: 20150331 Severity: wishlist I recently did a jessie install on a new laptop, an ASUS UX305FA, and the install was nearly perfect, everything just worked, yay!
This laptop has a touchpad and I had some minor issues figuring it out and I have some small suggestions for the documentation at http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html (and maybe the wiki page at https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad) 1) I couldn't emulate a middle button click by clicking left+right. Eventually I read in the synaptics(4) man page that, "ClickPads do not support middle mouse button emulation." It might be good to mention that and alternatives, maybe something like "Touchpads with a button integrated in the touchpad surface (called 'ClickPad') do not support emulating a middle button click by clicking the left and right buttons at the same time. On these devices alternatives are using '3 finger click' or setting up a dedicated area of the touchpad for middle button using the 'SoftButtonAreas' option." 2) After typing there is a delay before the touchpad becomes active. I learned this is controlled by the syndaemon program, which was already running as 'syndaemon -i 2.0 -K -R' with a 2 second delay. But I can't find where those settings are configured or how syndaemon is even launched. ppid is 1 so init must be launching it but I can't find anything in /etc/init.d/, /etc/X11, /etc/default. Compounding the problem is that if you touch the pad before the 2.0s is up, the pointer won't respond until you lift your finger and set it back down. 2.0s was too much for me, I have it turned down to 0.1. So A) document how to adjust it and B) consider turning it down. 3) The bottom of the configure-input page says: "Warning: it becomes quite difficult to use things like Ctrl+click in a browser, or Alt+drag to move windows." I think this is what the syndaemon -K flag is for? (which is on by default). So maybe the example could be adjusted and that line removed?
