linux MATE
I recently switched to Linux MATE instead of Mint Cinnamon on my laptop, but I’m facing some issues. When trying to scroll with two fingers on the touchpad, it only moves the mouse and doesn’t respond properly. I checked the settings and found an option for "two finger scrolling" that was enabled. However, it doesn’t work as expected. Even after disabling that feature, the touchpad still doesn’t function correctly. I also tried turning off the "disable touchpad when typing" setting, but the problem persists.
MATE isn't just "Linux MATE"; it supports multiple operating systems.
I understand, I'm here to help. Just let me know what you're experiencing, and I'll do my best to clarify it for you.
It's the Lenovo Thinkpad l440 with an i5 4300m processor. When I used Windows and Mint Cinnamon together, I didn't encounter any issues with using both the touchpad and keyboard simultaneously. However, I'm not sure what kind of touchpad was used, but if it helped, I tried Synaptics or something similar.
You run the command to check installed packages and see a warning about the CLI stability. It advises using it carefully in scripts.
Using the libinput driver, configure the touchpad settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf. Set InputClass to "libinput touchpad catchall". Ensure MatchIsTouchpad is "on" and MatchDevicePath points to "/dev/input/event*". Enable Driver "libinput", enable Option "Tapping" and "NaturalScrolling", and choose "ClickMethod" as "clickfinger" with "ScrollMethod" set to "twofinger". Updated on May 16, 2019 by Chunchunmaru_
