Aspire One - touchpad tapping doesn't work

thayer · 2009-03-18 05:02:56

As per the title, I can't get the touchpad tap or double-tap to work on my new AA1 AOD150. The touchpad buttons work OK however. Has anyone else experienced this on these or similar devices?

I'm using the stock kernel with the following xorg.conf:

I'm running stable Xorg with had configuration. No problems here. What's in your Xorg.0.log? Wanna change to hal config? Then I can post my policy file.

with xserver 1.5 you have to enable tapping in synaptic section seperatly in xorg with:
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"

Ah ha! Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I get back to my office. Thanks too Andy, if all else fails I may have to go with hal/xorg, but I'm leaving that as a last resort.

Update: That worked great, thanks again ichbinesderelch!
