Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
after my upgrade to unstable I noticed that tapping was no more allowed
on my Synaptics touchpad (Acer TravelMate 3200 series).
It took me a while to figure out what to do and I found a
solution/workaround but I'm reporting the bug anyway.
In fact, it seems that if I don't specify in my xorg.conf file that I
want to enable tapping (1 finger = left, 2 fingers = middle, 3 fingers =
right) it is disabled.
Moreover the values reported by "synclient -l" are completely wrong.
Here is part of the output:
~$ synclient -l
TrackstickSpeed = 40
FingerPress = 255
TopEdge = 1620
TapButton1 = 0
TapButton2 = 0
TapButton3 = 0
If you compare it with the options specified in my xorg.conf you'll see
that they don't match.
E.g.
TapButton1=0 VS TapButton1=1
FingerPress=255 VS FingerPress=65
Thank you,
Stefano
