The version conflict is not between ksynaptics and libsynaptics, but between libsynaptics and the synaptics driver.
Ping? It has been almost a month, what's the status of this?
After bearing synaptics problems for several months, and suffering from resulting indigestion, I have finally found one remedy: /usr/bin/synclient I now use a script which essentially does this: # Gaaah! NO scrolling, thank you. synclient VertEdgeScroll=0 synclient HorizEdgeScroll=0 # No taps, thank you. synclient MaxTapTime=0 Peace! Ps. For those still using ksynaptics, libsynaptics, please see the rant (posted on 12/1/08) from the author of these packages himself: http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net/
this is weird...apparently no one wants to take assignment of this report, it was fixed when I got updated libsynaptics-0.14.6c-6.fc10.i386 on March 11. I updated to Fedora-11-Beta yesterday and I am once again having the same failure issues even though libsynaptics is unchanged (but obviously xorg-x11-drv-synaptics has been updated to 1.1.0-1.fc11.i586)
libsynaptics/ksynaptics is dead and has been removed from Fedora 11.
