Or, it may not be new and the Fedora KDE version isn't completely configured, I'm just not sure. Regardless, to enable actual tapping, you need to go into System Settings | Input Devices | Touchpad | Tapping In that tab, make sure the checkbox 'Enable tapping' is checked (and mine was, fwiw). At the bottom of that tab there's a section labeled 'Buttons'. You have to assign the buttons to particular taps. In F20 KDE, the taps are all assigned NONE. Once I went in and set 'One Finger' means 'Left Button', etc, it works just fine. I'm all for having the option to assign taps to buttons, etc, but it doesn't make sense (to me anyway) to enable tapping, but not assign default settings (one finger tap is left, etc.) But, it works now, and that's all that matters to me. - -- Mark Haney Network/Systems Administrator Practichem W: (919) 714-8428 Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) 3.13.5-202.fc20.x86_64 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTJy+BAAoJEM/YzwEAv6e7GN8H/jFgY4eCxregeQdS5WKQsrLD lwrL1Su8qzTjMc1e17RdUU/Mo6b686bM6LBzMrQeza1nevZno1SteFro7G1lTeiK u7UjCKKjkg0INC1n9cDXTr/IV8kBFuHx1rD2o7m1FzJJqbAfTUB7OmEaqpNLYpB6 TM36/NsbztVF4SmyiqOlM6RW2qu3wwUIQshaBXo3mNEyvFDaTLR5MjUl3J0YryRc rXwHgphQ2V9Jmh5G68fnP+CDtHiBatKMVsPgP4t/kJly7337cVuKF+ReMtOTqm39 dTkOjkJKaTuyOqRq0uJjcPZJh4AL7nRy62ejpEwbFRdqRDNdPn36ScAglHaWWck= =t00f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
