[solved] xf86-input-synaptics (testing) no left-click via "middle-tap"

Hi,

I just installed Xorg 1.5RC6 from testing.
I had to replace the package synaptics with xf86-input-synaptics (testing).

Problem:
Left-klick via finger-tap in the middle of the touchpad does not work anymore.
Are there any changes in configuring the touchpad in xorg.conf?

here is my current config.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "LeftEdge" "1700"
        Option      "RightEdge" "5300"
        Option      "TopEdge" "1700"
        Option      "BottomEdge" "4200"
        Option      "FingerLow" "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option      "MaxTabTime" "180"
        Option      "MaxTabMove" "220"
        Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed" "0.06"
        Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
        Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

I am also missing the tap feature since the upgrade.

I solved it.

The tap-to-click feature now is disabled by default.

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 00629.html
http://developer.momonga-linux.org/view … iew=markup

adding this to the touchpad section in xorg.conf did it for me (left-click).

Option "TapButton1" "1"

If you want to enable all features / buttons that are disabled by the tap-to-click-patch, adding this options should do it.

Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "RTCornerButton" "2"
Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
