I have tried this solution in my Ubuntu 18.04 (HP laptop) but the terminal says:
property 'Synaptics Finger' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
I cannot find relevant option in xinput --watch-props
. Here is the outcome:
Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad':

I also have tried to set tapping to 0.5 xinput --set-prop 11 294 0.5
but it has turned off tapping completely.
Is there any possibility to reduce touchpad sensitivity?
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
