English Hardware
1

Hi :slight_smile:
I just bought an hp laptop and immediately partitioned the hard disk to install Harlequin. But when i try to ‘tap’ the touchpad, like when you want to activate a link, i must use the buttons.
Can you help me to fix this?

My /usr/sbin/hwinfo is:

You don’t say what desktop you are using. If you are using KDE, System Settings>Input Devices>Touchpad offers the option to adjust various touchpad settings.
