Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello Mattia,

I have a touchpad with only 2 buttons, and I want the following mapping
Tap          -> button 1
Left  button -> button 2
Right button -> button 3

(So I do not need to use Emulate3Buttons which give me the creep)

Unfortunately I could not see a way to configure
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics such that the tap and the left button
report different button numbers.

The hardware allows for that feature (the patch below do that in a 
non-configurable way for both synaptics and ALPS touchpad).

As an aside, I wrote one of the first touchpad drivers in 1998 (inside
jamd and gpm) to allow this particular button setting, so it would be 
a bit distressing it is not possible with current drivers.

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure what you asked for is possible already, TapButton1 lets
you configure which button is reported on a one-finger tap, and xinput
has a set-button-map option if you want to change what left/right map
to.  If not though, you'll have to report it upstream, the Debian
maintainers most likely won't.

Cheers,
Julien
