#Xinput test mouse software

My i2c touchpad probably isn't the same so be careful and don't copy everything verbatim. Then these can be put into a shell script. Where are the possible spots in the login/boot process where these settings would be set? They are not in /usr/share/X11/, yes I have checked for sure.Ĭould I totally avert this with new mouse drivers? Any recommendations for Elantech touch pads? I have seen others with this problem (crappy elan pad drivers) but no suggestions.īe sure the settings are accepted without error by xinput.

After further testing, I saw that after a logoff and login, they were also reset.ĭo Xinput setting changes require a reboot? If not, then it seems like some other software is controlling my mouse and I need to diagnose that. Were reset to what they were before I rebooted. When it got back, all of the props listed with xinput list-props 'Elan Touchpad' At first I figured these may only apply after a reboot, so that's what I did. When I try to change the settings for sens and acceleration in both the XFCE4 settings gui and xinput with, for example: xinput set-prop 'Elan Touchpad' 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 1.0Ī whole load of nothing happens. It is incredibly inaccurate and frustrating to use, especially because it goes too fast when attempting subtle movements. Using the Elantech touch pad, by default, is quite terrible. I am using it on a laptop which uses an Elantech touch pad. I'm using Linux mint with XFCE4, not particularly heavily customized. I'm a Linux learner, so go a little light with me please.
