Removing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics on my system would remove a bunch of useful things including gnome, libreoffice, etc The dependency to xserver-xorg-input-all if it is not now needed could be removed to avoid this. As a temporary workaround I deleted the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
It seems to do the trick. After restart I have gnome panel showing options for touchpad and tap-to-click works fine. -- Klitos Giannakopoulos DuckSeason Development Team website: www.duckseason.mobi email: kli...@duckseason.mobi
