Got a new laptop to replace my netbook. Everything seems to be working ok, mouse pad, network, keyboard. But the right botton doesn't work when clicking on a file in spaceFM or a favorite in Firefox.
Suggestions?

Perhaps play with synclient to see if you can force it.
synclient -l will give you a list of options.
Here is a script I use to set two finger tap as right click on a mousepad.
# Two finger tap right click
synclient FingerHigh=42
synclient TapButton2=3

Those didn't help brokenman.
Under Windows the right touchpad button can be enabled or disabled. Under Linux I don't see that as an option and apparently the default is disabled. I didn't find anything promising at linux.dell.com or linux.dell.com/git either. And copying and pasteing not possible without a right button working. I never realized how much the right button is used until this.

I spoke too soon. This looks promising: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To ... ickPads.29
So too does this:
I have to tweak some of the other values too but the right button is functional at this point.
So too does this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=4
#synclient LeftEdge=30 RightEdge=1385 TopEdge=0 BottomEdge=600
# Dell
synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=3914 RightButtonAreaTop=3918
