Hello All,
I am using KDE Manjaro on a budget laptop (KUU K2S, based on Intel Celeron J4115). After installation and Wifi driver adjustment, almost everything works fine.
The worst annoyance is that its touchpad left button, randomly but anyway after short use, starts behaving as a left-button (and I have to revert to the touchpad click to have left-click effect, with click and hold of course not available).
If I logout/login back, it goes back to normality (and fails again after some time), hence I guess it is not hardware-related.
Would anybody have any hint? Should I list any reporting?
Thank you!
What is your system information from inxi -Fazy?
Perhaps the touchpad driver is the issue.
Anyway, also try left button click by a single finger click on the touchpad. And also try right button click by 2 fingers click on the touchpad. See if using finger click works.
Thanks - here’s the output:

Clicking on the touchpad does work, but is not that handy especially when you need to click and hold in order to drag things around.
Doesn’t see any issue with your system.
When your touchpad problem starts, check “System Settings → Input Devices → Touchpad” if the Left handed mode is selected. This is maybe the issue.
Thanks, but checked and no, that is not the case.
However, your feedback help me realize my device is a HTIX5288, for the records, and it seems to produce issue every here and there with Linux distros.
I have then installed the libinput-gestures package, which as far as I understand allows the libinput driver to also handle gestures - let me see if it works out.
No way - the problem still persists.
do you have a touchpad.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/??
here’s mine:
~ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf 1 ✘
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection
Yes, I have. Here it is:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection
It seems like exactly the same to me
