How can I add a config to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

1st Official Post

    I can't figure out how to add a custom config to

    /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

    I am trying to add 40-libinput.conf to this folder but don't have permission? :(

    I gave myself root access via Samba, but it didn't help.

    Not possible out of the box.

    Create:

    Code: /storage/.config/system.d/xorg.service.d/exec_start.conf
    [Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xorg-launch -nolisten tcp vt01 $XORG_DEBUG -configdir /storage/.config/xorg.conf.d

    Reboot and use /storage/.config/xorg.conf.d instead.

    ok, I created the folder and believe it is being used, because as I keep trying different .conf trying to get my SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad tap-to-click working, some of them just kill off the mouse pointer completely. It's probably due to a bug from a long outdated build.

    OK, so I'm revisiting this some time later.... when you create /storage/.config/xorg.conf.d I assume you also need to copy what's in the read-only files system there too? Or is it read in addition to the existing directory?

    So I'm trying to disable the touchpad by updating : /storage/.config/xorg.conf.d/70-libinput.conf

    And setting the Tapping option to off thusly:

    Code
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"        
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"        
    Driver "libinput"        
    Option "Tapping" "off"
EndSection

    This doesn't seem to do the trick (have rebooted as well obviously).

    Any ideas?

    Any ideas?

    You either need to implement support for /storage/.config/xorg.conf.d/ mapping to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d .. or (easier) patch the files that we get from xf86-input-libinput package with a custom image or (easiest) overwrite them with a file in projects/Generic/filesystem/use/share/X11/xorg.conf.d with whatever you like. All of the above require a custom image.

    As said check /var/log/Xorg.0.log. E.g. if the configuration is accepted and how the touchpad is configured

    It appears that the touchpad is configured as a MS Nano Transciever Mouse:

    KODI-FR:/var/log # cat Xorg.0.log | grep mouse

    Any ideas on disabling touchpad click , or is the suggestion chewitt made of custom image the only real option?
