Created attachment 337562 [details] my Xorg.0.log scrolling with the touchpad is working but not the tap button function for clicking
Tapping is disabled by default, see also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SynapticsUpdate Did you enable it in your configuration or the fdi files?
oh ok, it's a feature not a bug... will try to re-enable it in the fdi files.

So I try to change the Tap Action value: xinput --set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Tap Action" 8 2 3 0 0 1 2 3 but doesn't change anything... any idea?
Try "Synaptics Tap Action" as property name. The command above would have created a new property, not modified the existing one.
thanks that seems to work (not perfectly, maybe one tapclick out of 4 is missed). I also tried with gsynaptics which is more user friendly. But this setting is not persistent, will try to modify xorg.conf. I will close the bug if tap button works perfectly.
Try increasing Synaptics Tap Move or Synaptics Tap Time.
ping?
I'm going to try this as soon as possible. I also have a strange behavior with the mouse stick, the mouse cursor get stuck just before (a few pixels) passing over widget like buttons or scroll button. Really annoying too. Is that a synaptics setting?
the mouse stick is usually controlled by the evdev driver, it's actually a separate device. I haven't heard of this problem either. It could be acceleration going bad when you slow down to hit a button. If you think this (or something else) is the case, please open a new bug though to keep this one focused on one issue only.
Ok thanks for your help. Btw the mouse stick seems better now with the latest updates. And for the touchpad I have now a checkbox in the mouse setting to enable the tap click and it's persistent. So cool! I can close this bug.
