Hey guys,
I just installed Garuda Linux on my new laptop. I used the latest ISOs, but after a bit of tinkering, I found out that the TappingButtonMap in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf was set to LMR by default. I figured it out by randomly tapping my fingers on the touchpad, and I believe this problem isn't ubiquitous since I tested the ISO on my friend's laptop the night before my installation on mine. I tried Wayfire, KDE, Mate, and LXqt versions, and I have encountered the same issue on those ISOs mentioned above. I didn't test other ISOs, so I don't know does this issue persists in other versions.
I believe this issue is specific to this hardware:
N: Name="SYNA3602:00 0911:5288 Touchpad"
And my solution is changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm"
ref of this solution: libinput - ArchWiki
Does anyone have any idea what is the cause behind this, I'm confused because it didn't have any issue on the previous release?
