<pre>I'm using Wayland in Ubuntu 17.10. It has libinput 1.8.2, or at least so the
version number on the package claims.
I have this in my /usr/share/X11/xofg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Tapping" "false"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true"
Option "PalmDetection" "true"
EndSection
None of the options specified there seem to be doing anything. I still
regularly accidentally tap by brushing against the touchpad, and similarly the
mouse cursor moves whenever I brush against the touchpad while typing.
I see from <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - Disable touchpad while typing doesn't function with libinput 1.8.0"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=101789">bug 101789</a> that there should be a "Disable While Typing Enabled"
property on the touchpad device, but it's not present on my device.
Any insights? What additional information can I provide you about my hardware
which will assist in troubleshooting this? Thanks.</pre>
