Hi,
thanks for the answer. A solution posted here indeed provides a right click
by tapping using synclient and RBCornerButton option. However, using this
lxde debian live image,
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/usb-hdd/debian-live-6.0.3-i386-lxde-desktop.imgthe
pad works out of the box with left and right click, click and drag,
and
scrolling on the right edge. This image is just a debian squeeze, and I
installed wheezy after that, therefore I'm wondering what the difference is
between that and my current system, to try and have this behaviour on
wheezy. As I said it seems that in the live image, the synaptics driver is
not used. Therefore do you have any idea on how this live system handles
the touchpad ?
Vincent.
