OK, so... Both disabling tap-to-click and enabling disable-touchpad-while-typing work properly, in both "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu on Xorg", when I remove the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package.
I suppose that means this bug is invalid, BUT... 1) It still seems like a bug to me that installing xserver-xorg-input- synaptics breaks stuff. Shouldn't both the settings app and gnome-tweak- tool be able to tell when that X server driver is being used and behave appropriately? 2) I don't believe I ever installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics by hand, so I assume it was a holdover from before I upgraded to 17.10. So is it a bug we should be paying attention to -- or documenting in the release notes, or SOMETHING -- that upgrading from before 17.10 to 17.10 or later is going to break anyone who has the xserver-xorg-input- synaptics package installed before the upgrade? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733032 Title: touchpad disable while typing, disable tap-to-click don't work in 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libinput/+bug/1733032/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
