Re: AntiX two finger tap right-click
you should be able to switch the finger-button emulation in by modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptic.conf, although the exact configuration escapes me at the moment.

Re: AntiX two finger tap right-click
I guess I'll mention. H2 and I learned ChromeBooks have their own quirks when it comes to his pinxi scripts. I had a running PM going with hydruga on Linux questions dealing with my Chromebook which he passed on to H2.
It had something to do pinxi -W in /home and user permissions. I had to chown their folder in /home to my user name to get things to process right.

When I installed AntiX it warned me the ssd was more than likely to fail soon. They probably did not put the most durable parts in these Chromebooks.rokytnji.1 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 2:30 pm Oh. If you get pinxi installed. I am sure h2 would like to see your chromebook readouts as related to this thread also.
I am not on my chromebook presently or I would contribute mine.

I would not run that command willy nilly on my 16 gig ssd drive. I don't know how weak or cheapo or rugged that stock 16 gig ssd is when it comes to read and writes.
Maybe you can help me with one other thing if you would, I can't seem to keep a volume control icon on the panel. It was there when I booted up, but then disappeared. I installed pulse audio, just in case that would help. Thankfully the audio works.

Yes, I'm looking right at it and have no idea what to put indolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 2:34 pm you should be able to switch the finger-button emulation in by modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptic.conf, although the exact configuration escapes me at the moment.

Re: AntiX two finger tap right-click
Like I said. I am out in my motorcycle shop now on my wireless desktop computer. I am just working from memory. You will have to be patient till I get my work done outside. It will be awhile.
Make sure in AntiX Control Center . Global Desktop Session. Password. Then go to startup. That volumeicon & is present.
Then I would go into icewm startup and do the same. Maybe put a sleep 2 or 4 in there also.
example
sleep 4 && volumeicon &
This is not off my chrome book. But you are welcome to try it. Just backup your icewm startup 1st and make a new blank startup text file and insert

Thanks Rok. It does have volume uncommented, so going to reboot and see if it sticks.

Re: AntiX two finger tap right-click
Not sure if a reboot or just a logout will suffice for my above advice to take hold.
Re: AntiX two finger tap right-click
You are brilliant Rok! That did it. Just needed to switch those numbers 2&3 then reboot.
Will mark this Solved. And my volume icon seems to be sticking on the panel now.
Thanks Again!

Now 3 fingers is left click, so it reversed them. Happy to have two-finger right-click working as I'm used to that function on the Chromebook.
