MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[Jerry3904]

I am testing on an X1 and two taps selects the word or string under/at the cursor; three taps selects the whole line. Huh: never knew that, never used it.

The touchpad is very sensitive, as usual, and I use touchpad-indicator to control.

I am using the X1 for testing right now. Two taps selects the word/string under the cursor, three taps selects the entire line.

Huh: never knew that.

Touchpad is hyper-sensitive, as usual with this machine. Haven't tried switching drivers with Tweak (but will now), though that hasn't had much effect in the past and I just use touchpad-indicator.

I need to check but the fluxbox alpha might be all libinput. Plan is for that on all releases but fluxbox is probably the first with the change.

[Jerry3904]

It looks like that might be the case.

@i_ri For touchpad sensitivity, try adjusting Touchpad Indicator > Touchpad configuration, and slide the "touchpad speed" slider down (left) or up. I'm going to test further with the goal of adding an entry under Menu > Settings > Touchpad.

Not just the ibm elan touchpad; i tried mxxfcealpha with xfce session and mxfluxbox session on a hp8440p with synaptics touchpad.
same quirk.
the external logitech touchpad works conventionally.
The internal synaptics touchpad has it wrong, reversed, the three finger is middle click and two finger is right-click. that is wrong.

[dolphin_oracle]

I’ve been using touchpads a long time. Two finger is usually right click. That predates three finger even being a thing.
At any rate we are using libinput defaults in this case. The only non default option is we enable tap to click by default.

[Jerry3904]

I have to be outside much of the day for a big project, so might only be able to check in now and then on my phone.

[i_ri]

touchpad
three finger tap equal right-click
two finger tap equal middle-click

I can tell you where I got accustomed to that
I just started up MX21 kde, xfce, mxfluxbox,
antiX all including antiX23bookworm have it that way.

I mentioned the difference with mx23 because it changed from previous.
The machines that have it reversed with mx23 [having three middle and two right] do have multitouch in previous MX versions the way stated as three is right two is middle.

You can probably return to the old synaptic driver by installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

Having the synaptics driver is getting to be problematic and I’m intending to use libinput by default this release. But the old drivers are still available. Not sure if you’ll need a conf file or not to get that behavior.
