Description Frank Griffin 2017-02-23 16:33:06 CET
Like it says. With the exception of disable touchpad while typing, all of the sensitivity settings (time, distances) are greyed out and cannot be changed.  This is also the case for the 1-2-3 finger tap actions and the corner tap behaviors.

Tap-to-click is enabled.

is it still valid for you ?

Comment 2 Frank Griffin 2017-03-20 14:09:19 CET
Yep.  On the sensitivity tab there are only two sliders both of which are greyed out and don't respond.

Installing X11-driver-input-synaptics gave me some more playroom for touchpad-settings, like ability to change speed minimum/maximum, where without this package i only could change accelaration.

same as Frank Griffin : Synaptic touchpad (Samsung NP 350) with Plasma

Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2018-06-24 05:27:53 CEST
This is apparently an undocumented reaction to libinput assuming these settings for itself on the assumption that it knows better than mere users who want to configure them.  It seems that libinput uses feedback from the kernel to decide how to set them.  Plasma appears to have reacted to this by greying out the options with no better explanation.
