I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 in my Dell Inspiron 7537. The two finger tap in the touchpad that simulates the right click is not very responsive. Sometimes it works at the first time, and sometimes I have to tap many times changing the pressure, the distance between fingers, and the speed for it to work. I don't know what parameter(s) to change for it to be responsive every time I tap with two fingers. In Windows it works like a charm.

  • Could you go to a terminal [Ctrl][Alt][T] and post the output of: synclient -l into your question? Use edit first! ;-)

  • Done, @Fabby. I added the output.

  • :-) Looks cool, but next time use text: not as cool-looking but I can copy-paste that and put it side-by-side to my output.

  • As I cannot look at you while you tap, we'll have to try some settings. (No! Don't make a video) If you go through the list, are there any features you don't use? E.g. if you don't use 2-finger scroll, you can just turn that off (so that it doesn't interfere with the two-finger tap) That would be: synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0 and synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0

  • that being said: MaxDoubleTapTime is the easiest to change: make that 20 higher then it is now (synclient MaxDoubleTapTime 200) and if that isn't enough another +20 Also your hysteresis is a bit high, try setting that to 20. Try those already and then report back. Warning this is not a permanent solution. When you log off you will have lost all your settings (which is an advantage: if you |@#¼ up: just log off and back on again) the final answer will be permanent settings
