Bug 232630

Not sure why you filed this against nautilus-media; reassinging to Nautilus.
Btw, sounds like an X11 bug to me, not sure though, so I'll let Alex decide.

Wrong CC

I have no idea what tap is supposed to do, but its nothing nautilus ever cares
explicitly about. Its likely an X issue or driver issue.

Please refer to the original message for explanations on what tap is supposed 
to do.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful
in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log
file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file
attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

The Xorg log file after removing xorg.conf and rebooting

After removing xorg.conf and rebooting, the tap feature of my touchpad still
doesn`t work.

It might be something so simple as improper configuration of your touchpad --
which doesn't make it less bug, because auto-detection should work -- but it
could be possible to overcome this bug by configuring it yourself.

Could you try to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you have to be root to do it; and
don't forget to make a backup copy of the file) and add this new section to it?

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Touchpad"
	Driver      "synaptics"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

(your settings may differ, more details could be find in synaptics(5) manpage)
and then change the section "ServerLayout" (should be on the top of the file) so
that it refers to your new InputDevice. Like this (the only change should be the
one regarding your touchpad, left the rest as it is even if it differs from this
example):

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Restart X and try it again. Does it help?

No, it still doesn't work. I didn't find any solution in the man page either.
The following line caused the touchpad to be very slow also:

InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"

I can confirm it on Asus EEE-PC. Tapping is not working
