+ | ===== Device Properties ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Synaptics and Wacom interface in the dialogs shows only the most important settings, but there are a lot more settings for input devices you can control. Xfsettingsd is capable of setting all sorts of device properties; however, you have to manually set them in the pointers xfconf channel which is not always easy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First you need to find the correct device using the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list | ||
+ | Virtual core pointer | ||
+ | Virtual core XTEST pointer | ||

+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list-props " | ||
+ | Device ' | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | Synaptics Coasting Speed (274): 45.000000 | ||
+ | Synaptics Scrolling Distance (252): 100, 100 | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next it to translate the names into valid Xfconf property name. The following characters are allowed: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you can see the value above is stored as a double (45.000), so to disable coasting you have to run the following xfconf-query command: | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In case the device property is an array, it will be show like '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
