Bug ID: 498925
Summary: Request: More sophisticated touchpad auto-disable
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_touchpad
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ho...@schirmeier.com
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm not sure this might even be a considered a bug, but since migrating from
KDE5 to KDE6, touchpad auto-disable is *always on* on my machine, and not
configurable in any way anymore:
- When I plug in a USB mouse, my Lenovo ThinkPad T15p touchpad ("SynPS/2
Synaptics TouchPad") gets disabled automatically (OK for me).
- A touch-screen input device the system sees when attaching our classroom
equipment via USB also disables the ThinkPad touchpad (not OK for me).
- When using "projecteur", a (Debian-packaged) piece of software that provides
a virtual mouse controlled by a "Logitech Spotlight" device, the ThinkPad
touchpad gets disabled (not OK for me).
Earlier, the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics configuration was much more
fine-grained and among other things allowed me to define a whitelist of devices
that did not disable the internal touchpad. Please consider adding such a
whitelist again, ideally one that can easily be filled with devices currently
connected to the machine.
The respective, now ignored entries from my .config/touchpadrc:
