16.04 - Elantech touchpad not working - Ask Ubuntu


my touchpad doesn't allow tapping single , double click. on researching, came across xinput. on navigating xinput list > xinput list-props [device number]. found libinput tapping enabled had value 0. changed 1 using command xinput set-prop 13 "libinput tapping enabled" 1. started working. after rebooting system, tapping again doesn't work , value changed 0. how make change permanent?

the easiest way, gui, via startup applications- can create commands run @ startup.

simply add command(s)

xinput set-prop 13 "libinput tapping enabled" 1

(you need add single entry per command), , reboot.

if want via terminal, edit .xsessionrc file (or create in ~/ or /etc/x11), adding xinput commands that.
