Anyone have a synclient set of parms to control the touchpad on one of these notebooks? I've been hacking at it for a month.
This works and is almost essential to use the touchpad
synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=3471 RightButtonAreaTop=4062
But tapping doesn't always work or only works in the upper right corner, etc.

Re: Dell Inspiron 13 touchpad
You can get a list of available options by typing into the console: synclient
I am not clear on what you want. Does "tap to click" work at all? Do you want to "right click"?
