How To Configure Synaptics Touchpad

Here are some useful tips about how to configure your Synaptics Touchpad. Remember to backup xorg.conf first!

  1. Enable/disable
    • Edit xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf in Debian/Ubuntu)
    • Find Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" and add the following option:
      Option "SHMConfig" "true"
    • Restart the X server
    • In your terminal type synclient TouchpadOff=1 to disable touchpad or synclient TouchpadOff=0 to enable it

  2. Disable touchpad while typing
    If you've ever tried to type something with the enabled tuchpad, you should probably know how annoying it is when you accidently make a touch. This tip disables the touchpad for some seconds when you press a key. It needs the configuration described above to be done in order to work. To disable touchpad for one second, go to your terminal and type syndaemon -i 1 -d

  3. Configure the device using Gsynaptics/ksynaptics
    Gsynaptics (ksynaptics if you use KDE) is a graphical touchpad configuration utility. It allows for example to enable/disable tapping and to tune scroll movements. Here is a screenshot:

Life is such a reality and make people helpless. Although I'm tired of the job, but I still stick to it. In the life happy or angry, sad or joyous only myself knows. How eager am I to take a break and treat myself to a vacation. Then lay down all the burden and have a relaxed travel.And Nike shox will give you a whole new experience.
