Tuning Synaptics Touchpad on FreeBSD


On my P1 Gen3 I was having unwanted clicks when two finger scrolling. Since I have set tap to click it was rather annoying. Especially on websites.

Currently the setting I'm experimenting with is hw.psm.synaptics.tap_min_queue. If you want to adjust this and test just bring up a terminal windows and type something like the following:

sudo sysctl hw.psm.synaptics.tap_min_queue=5

Once you're satisfied with the setting add an entry like the following into /etc/sysctl.conf.

hw.psm.synaptics.tap_min_queue=5
