Description Charles A. Landemaine 2007-03-16 14:04:17 UTC 
I have an AlpsGlide Synaptics touchpad. The drag and drop feature doesn't work 
with my touchpad if I use it together with the tap feature. In other words, if 
I hit twice the touchpad without releasing it, over a file, and if I try 
dragging this file to a different directory, moving my finger over the 
touchpad, the file doesn't move to the other directory.
Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2011-03-18 06:46:24 UTC 
Please attach your xorg.conf and your Xorg.log file.

Note that the evdev driver doesn't have a tap-to-click feature so if you've really been using the evdev driver as touchpad driver, this may just be the cause for the issue.
