# Configure Touchpad in Arch
The following is meant for systems with xorg display server
By default, the touchpad does not recognize 'tapping' as clicks, and two-finger scrolling is not inversed. We can change this behavior by adding a file 30-touchpad.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
The contents of the file:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection
The Option parameters are the ones responsible in customizing touchpad behavior. The other parameters can be copied over from the generic configurations in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf.
More on these configurations on archwiki (opens new window)
