It is probably
|
|
|
|
* Badly formatted
|
|
* Missing graphics and tables that do not convert well from mediawiki
|
|
* Out-of-date
|
|
* In need of other love

Fedora tries to make various desktop environments available to its
|
|
users. Since Fedora tries to
|
|
link:Staying_close_to_upstream_projects[stay as close to upstream] as
|
|
possible, we follow the various defaults selected by the desktop
|
|
environment upstreams. Generally, this entails a disabled touchpad click
|
|
by default. This wiki page tries to compile the different methods that
|
|
can be used to enable "tapping" on various desktop environments.
|
|
|
|
*Please note that this is only a resource to aid our users. For
|
|
discussions on this setting, please talk to the relevant DE upstream.
|
|
Fedora does not intend to make any changes to upstream defaults.*
