Just to make sure you understood me (and I you), when I do the above, nothing happens. It doesn't even produce an event in xev. The double-tap-and-drag gesture does work, but for that one, you have to drag your finger after the second tap (touch-release-touch-drag). The Synaptics Gestures property controls this feature. If I disable it, then it disables double-tap-and-drag, but it doesn't enable double-tap-and-hold. You then have to use the physical buttons. I would like to enable the tap-and-hold functionality, but I don't know how to get it. Maybe there is an alternative touchpad driver other than the synaptics one? If so, how do I disable the synaptics driver and just use the standard one? I'm using fedora-15, and fedora 13 before it. What distribution are you using? Also, this touchpad works correctly in windows. -Brandon
