If things don’t improve, this StarLite will likely be the last Linux device I get.
Not asking for much, just:
- Battery life to at least match my ten-year-old iPad. (I’d be happy with something lasted more than two-
(sorry, cursor just jumped while typing that – see point 2, below)
-three hours.
- Trackpad that disables while typing so I can, well, type.
Basically, just a machine that gets the basics right.
(Really - sorry cursor jumped - want to love this machine. Just can’t.)
are u using libinput? that comes with palm detection and disable-w-typing
```bash
libinput list-devices
```
@bebna Yep, I’m wondering now if it doesn’t work for tap-to-click… https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/182
uff Gnome
didn't expect you to use such a fat monster
Gnome overrides settings you have to check with
```bash
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing
```
that tool can also set
```bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing true
```
u can find all options here: https://github.com/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/blob/master/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.gschema.xml.in
otherwise palm detection should take care of most problems.
How is the keyboard u use designed? how are you hands positioned on it ?
@bebna Thanks, yeah, the issue appears to be that GNOME doesn’t disable tap to click as part of disabling the trackpad while typing.
