Two more small victories. Like the song says "another one bits the dust".
It was about input devices. My UK keyboard does not let me type € (euros sign) for Alt-gr + 4.
And the touch-pad is clever in Win10 but stupid in linux. It seams the modern "all-inclusive" libinput (in preparation for Wayland?) is good replacement for evdev, but libinput has not all options as old/trusted synaptics.

An inspection on /var/log/Xog.0.log shows that only synaptic driver takes my options=.., ignored by libinput "master of inputs"

FYI: all these little things (keyboard, audio, sound) keep users on Win10 (bloat/spy).

Juanito:
What happens without xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-synaptics loaded?

Juanito:

wayland has been available for some time now in CorePure64 - have you tried the weston compositor?

nick65go:
Hi Juanito, as I said, by default I do no load xf86-input-evdev, neither xf86-input-synaptic. xf86-input-libinput just works.but it ignores my options from
--- Code: ---#/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Pad"
Driver "libinput"

--- End code ---

So I need to load xf86-input-synaptic also.
--- Code: ---#/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Pad"
Driver "synaptics"

--- End code ---
About wayland, i have no clue, just reading articles about why evdev is replaced, and libinput promoted (maybe for touch screens, etc)
FYI: I am still at base things, like Xorg + FLTK. partial GK1/2/3 as imposed by others like firefox.

nick65go:
just to confirm, again, that libinput ignores my syntax for "options=" from 70-synaptics.conf
I delete /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I modified the (only one on my laptop) 70-synaptics.conf, to have
--- Code: ---#/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Pad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

--- End code ---
shut-down X server, then startx. inspecting the fresh /var/log/Xorg.0.log i see it missed all my synaptic options (needed for horizontal/vertical edge scrolls, etc)

PS: in dmesg (from Control Panel) I see also (but i belive it is not critical)
