Not the bug raining day, but still a very unpleasant experience with F9 and tapping. Fixing it is easy, here is the patch --- synaptics.spec~ 2008-03-28 20:28:10.000000000 +0100 +++ synaptics.spec 2008-04-10 19:45:27.000000000 +0200 @@ -4,3 +4,3 @@ Version: 0.14.6 -Release: 7%{?dist} +Release: 8%{?dist} Summary: Synaptics Touchpad Driver @@ -14,3 +14,2 @@ Patch1: synaptics-0.14.6-newx.patch -Patch2: synaptics-0.14.6-tap-to-click.patch Patch3: synaptics-0.14.6-poll-delay.patch @@ -55,3 +54,2 @@ %endif -%patch2 -p1 -b .tap %patch3 -p1 -b .polldelay @@ -89,2 +87,5 @@ %changelog +* Thu Apr 10 2008 Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm> - 0.14.6-8 +- Reenable tap to click. + * Fri Mar 28 2008 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 0.14.6-7 And for the ones too lazy to rebuild I've placed the fixed synaptics package in ATrpms' testing area or you can get it directly from http://atrpms.net/dist/f9/synaptics/ Bought my sanity back. |

Used to work OK with F8. It doesn't work with default xorg.conf configuration file, as well as with my modifications, that I've had on F8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F9 initial release How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just don't work - nothing to reproduce. Actual Results: Tapping the touchpad doesn't work. Expected Results: Tapping the touchpad should emulate a mouse click.
