[Bug 109586] Re: Touchpad configuration (ksynaptics) has no (permanent) effect

[MetaMorfoziS]

I haev solved a problem, but this is only a WORKAROUND, and i waiting for the solution henceforward.
So this is the solution:
------
First, setup your touchpad well, to get it work as you want (scrolling, circular, tapping etc)

I have solved it with php, because its easier (you can do with your localhost/remote webserver or by hand).
So make a new.php that contains:

<?php
header("Content-disposition:inline; filename=touch.sh");
header("Content-type:text/plain;");
$conf = file("syn.out");
print "#!/bin/bash\n";
foreach($conf as $n => $sor) if($n>0) {
$sor = str_replace(' ','',$sor);
print "synclient $sor";
}
?>

Then: synclient -l > syn.out
Then copy both to your web folder (the two file must be in the same folder), and run it from your browser.
Save the output somewhere (as touch.sh) (if you have more than 1 user then /opt)

chmod +x touch.sh and link it to your startup folder that is in kde
located at: ~/.kde/Autostart (if you are alone on that machine you can
just copy here, i had problems with linking "KDEinit not found
blablabla")

Here is what we doing before:
my synclient -l:

    TopEdge              = 1663
    BottomEdge           = 4158

    EdgeMotionUseAlways  = 1
    UpDownScrolling      = 1
    LeftRightScrolling   = 1
    UpDownRepeat         = 1
    LeftRightRepeat      = 1
    ScrollButtonRepeat   = 100
    TouchpadOff          = 0
    GuestMouseOff        = 0
    LockedDrags          = 0
    RTCornerButton       = 2

    PressureMotionMinZ   = 30
    PressureMotionMaxZ   = 160
    PressureMotionMinFactor = 1

And php converts this to this:
