I seem to have succeeded in making g-s-d honour the X settings by removing gsynaptics and pointing-device-settings. They aren't useful for me anyway, because they insist that the third mouse button (used for pasting) is simulated by tapping with three fingers, while I find the previous (pre-synaptics) X default of having the third mouse button on TapButton2 much more convenient (I paste much more frequently than invoking context menus).
Unfortunately, upon resume from suspend, g-s-d resets the touchpad settings, losing any tap or scroll functions :( Changing settings via synclient works, but has to be done after each resume. Can't it just stay off the touchpad unless there is an explicit request to set something? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
