Same thing here in a Acer Aspire One AOA150 netbook. gsynaptics was
working until it was upgraded to a "stub package" which only installs
gpointing-device-settings. "Enable Tapping" can be either checked or
unchecked, and the thing does not work. I tried to downgrade to
gsynaptics once again, reboot, but tapping seems dead now.
Please, please, PLEASE, stop forcing gpointing-device-settings into
Debian because IT SIMPLY IS NOT READY YET. Come on. I have found exactly
similar bug reports hanging on since October 2009. I have tried to
install it three or four times over the last year and it NEVER worked as
promised. Causes much more problems than solutions. gsynaptics can be
old, but simply works. If gpointing is really the unavoidable way to go,
please make its installation scripts configure *everything* -- I have
seen and followed a lot of tutorias on xorg.conf options, HAL options,
and both gsynaptics and gpointing mess up everything and require user
intervention in some very unfriendly areas. I would be glad to help
instead of criticizing, but most users -- including myself -- are not
developers and/or have other things to do which are more urgent than to
learn the mechanism of pointing device detection in HAL or Xorg.
Regards and good luck.
