Issues with the new xorg-configuration

Issues with the new xorg-configuration

[Luther Thompson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 580 bytes --]

After last week's changes to how xorg configuration works, but I still
have some problems with the touchpad. Essentially, the extra-config
seems to have no effect.

1. The Tapping option does not work.

2. The HorizontalScrolling option does not work. Strangely, the
documentation[0] says that "HorizontalScrolling" *disables* horizontal
scrolling. I've tried it both ways.

3. The DisableWhileTyping option does not work. This actually never
worked, even before the change.

I've attached my config.scm file.

Sorry, my tapping config that I've gave is not working too with current commit.
Need to use manual or maybe it is a bug.

If it's not a Guix bug, then the problem is probably with the string
that we pass to extra-config. The documentation for that is at
xorg.conf[0] and libinput[1]. If that's not what the problem is, I have
no idea what to search for in the Guix manual.

Hi, Luther, I've brought back touchpad tapping with such config. Need to use gdm-service-type instead of slim-service-type   
 (services (cons*
 (service xfce-desktop-service-type)
 (service dhcp-client-service-type)

 (modify-services 
 (remove (lambda (service)
 (member (service-kind service)
 (list ntp-service-type avahi-service-type
 bluetooth-service network-manager-service-type)))
 %desktop-services) ;end of remove lambda services

 (wpa-supplicant-service-type config =>
 (wpa-supplicant-configuration
 (interface "wlp2s0")
 (config-file "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf")))

 (gdm-service-type config =>
 (gdm-configuration
 (xorg-configuration
 (xorg-configuration
 (extra-config 
 '("Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "touchpad"
 Driver "libinput"
 MatchIsTouchpad "on"
 Option "Tapping" "on"
 EndSection")
 )))))

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm unable to try this right now, because
the reconfigure fails for me completely on the current commit. (I just
reported it on bug-guix@gnu.org.) I'll have to try this later.

Thank you. It seems to be mostly working now:

Tapping works.

Side-scrolling works after I deleted `Option "HorizontalScrolling"
"off"`. This option apparently does what the name implies and not what
the libinput[0] doc says.

I'm not sure whether or not DisableWhileTyping works. It seems to work
better than before, but not perfectly. I need some time before I know
how I feel about it.
