I am running AntiX 21, 64 bit, on a Dell e5430 and also an ASUS K54. The touchpad sensitivity was far too high, on both computers. In the antix forum, I’ve seen threads dealing with disabling the touchpad, due to extreme sensitivity. But I did not find a way to adjust sensitivity. The Control Centre mouse adjustments have no effect.
However, I stumbled on this fix from another forum. It seems to work for me.
Touchpad sensitivity adjustment.
info source: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=145283From terminal:
xinput- {will list active devices, so you can find touchpad id number}
eg. AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13
{xinput is available for installation from the antix repos}
xinput list-props ‘device name or number between single quotes’
- {will list device properties. Note values for “Finger”
eg. Finger (309): 12, 15, 0
Number in parenthesis is property identifier.
Next numbers are FingerLow, FingerHigh, FingerPress values}
xinput set-prop 13 309 30 33 128
- {numbers are device id, property id, FingerLow, FingerHigh, FingerPress
Property is set immediately. Test touchpad response. Change FingerLow and FingerHigh values a couple points at a time and recheck until satisfactory. (FingerLow value must always be lower than Finger High value.)
To make change permanent, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf by adding lines:
- Option “FingerLow” “x”
- Option “FingerHigh” “y”
- Option “FingerPress” “z” {enter your values for x,y,z}

Not sure if this is any help, but it came up first in Forum >> Search for touchpad sensitive synclient…

BobC, Thanks for the link. I don’t know why I didn’t find it.
synclient is a bit easier to use than xinput. The end result is the same.
