Description David Dreggors 2011-10-23 20:46:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
The on off button of my touchpad is a small indent at the top left corner of my touchpad. In Windows a quick double tap on that button would enable/disable the touchpad. In F16 (and probably previous versions of Fedora) this does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.5.0-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double tap the touchpad button

  
Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
Indicator light above button changes (on or off) and touchpad is disabled or enabled.

Additional info:
My laptop is an HP Pavilion G6.
AMD Phenom(tm) II P650 Dual-Core Processor
4GB Ram

Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2011-11-11 03:32:19 UTC 
This would need to be implemented upstream first. Please file a bug in the bugs.freedesktop.org bugzilla but beware that the upstream maintainer (me) is overloaded and may not get to implement this in a reasonable timeframe.
