Dell Inspiron 13 touchpad

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.

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"?

I'm aware of synclient and I have "right click" working.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# To auto run at startup 1. Add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. 2. And make rc.local executable.
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
synclient -l | grep -i Palm
echo
synclient -l | grep -i Edge
echo
synclient -l | grep -i Button
echo
synclient -l | grep -i Tap
exit
fi
synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=4

And most of my values are guesses or things I found via
Google. At this point tap to click seems to only work, sometimes, in the upper right hand corner of the touchpad.
