Description of problem: The synaptics driver on my ibook G4 works nicely after changing the 'edge' settings in xorg.conf to some decent values: Option "LeftEdge" "20" Option "RightEdge" "960" Option "TopEdge" "20" Option "BottomEdge" "337" These are the values that the driver uses when the X server is started, according to Xorg.0.log. But when KDE is up and ksynaptics gets loaded, these values are overridden with defaults that render the Apple touchpad unusable. Output from synclient -l: LeftEdge = 1700 RightEdge = 5300 TopEdge = 1700 BottomEdge = 4200 Disabling ksynaptics and restarting X cures the problem. BTW, other settings in xorg.conf, e. g. 'MinSpeed', are not overridden. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.1-3.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ksynaptics from fedora extras 2. Restart X or enable touchpad in control center 3. Actual results: Apple touchpad gets unausable Expected results: Additional info:
