libinput always has horizontal scrolling enabled and punts the decision when to scroll horizontally to the toolkit/widget. This is the better approach, but while we have a stack that's not ready for that, and in the X case likely never will be fully ready provide an option to disable horizontal scrolling. This option doesn't really disable horizontal scrolling, it merely discards any horizontal scroll delta. libinput will still think it's scrolling. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91589 Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
xf86-input-libinput - a libinput-based X driver
The official repository for this driver is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-libinput/
This is an X driver based on libinput. It is a thin wrapper around libinput, so while it does provide all features that libinput supports it does little beyond.
WARNING: misconfiguration of an X input driver may leave you without usable input devices in your X session. Use with caution.
Prerequisites
To build, you'll need the X.Org X server SDK (check your distribution for a xorg-x11-server-devel package or similar) and libinput (check your distribution for libinput-devel or similar).
To get libinput from source, see: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/
To build the X server from source: http://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/
Building
To build this driver:
autoreconf -vif
./configure --prefix=$HOME/build
make && make install
Note that this assumes the same prefix as used in "Building the X Window System" above, adjust as required. If you want a system install, use a prefix of /usr.
Install the default configuration file:
cp conf/99-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
This will assign this driver to all devices. Use with caution.
