===== touchpad (xubuntu 18.04) =====

<del>It seems the most reliable way to get the right-click to work with two fingers only is explained [[https://askubuntu.com/questions/602193/how-to-disable-right-click-on-the-touchpad|here]] and is the one referring to editing synaptics.conf. synclient doesn't seem to work. Having said that...seems like a had a note to do this:</del>
 * <del>synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=1180</del>
 * <del>synclient RightButtonAreaTop=1180</del>

update: did [[https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln308258/precision-xps-ubuntu-general-touchpad-mouse-issue-fix?lang=en|this]], then edited /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
