Essentially as the title says, I’m running SDDM with the Wayland backend on Fedora 40 Sway edition and I want to enable tap-to-click for my touchpad. Any ideas on how I can do that? I tried doing it in the xorf config but then I realised the x server isn’t even installed so SDDM is actually running on Wayland, and I don’t know how to do that on Wayland with SDDM. Any ideas?

    Try this, may be an AI hallucination

    mkdir /etc/sddm.conf.d
cat > /etc/sddm.conf.d/custom.conf <<EOF
[Input]
EnableTap=true
EOF

    In general avoid overwriting default files, as this .conf.d seems to be pretty standard. Your distro will handle the default .conf but may stop when you changed it manually.

      What AI service did you use to get this? It doesn’t work, but ChatGPT (3.5) just told me to edit the xorg config to add tap-to-click (which I did but it didn’t do anything, probably because X11 is not installed)
