Re: Touchpad problem after upgrading to 2.6.12

Hi,

I'm having a problem with double tap on my touchpad since i upgraded from 2.6.8 to 2.6.12. I'n 2.6.8 i could double tap and i could single tap just fine, now, if I single tap in something, it opens two apps, so I'm figuring that it's assuming double tapping when I'm just single tapping.

My laptop is a Acert TravelMate 290.

I have the exact same problem but was just too lazy to post and started using a usb mouse instead. I dont know whether it is the problem with x.org packages or whether with 2.6.12 kernel.

My laptop is Toshiba Satellite p25-s507 and it is not a synaptic touch pad as is suggested by

So my guess is that it has nothing to do with the xfree86-driver-synaptics package. It used to work before with 2.6.8 + xfree86. So I dont think there is anything wrong with my XF86Config-4 either.

But just for reference here are the relevant sections in my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier    "Configured Mouse"
   Driver        "mouse"
   Option        "CorePointer"
   Option        "Device"        "/dev/psaux"
   Option        "Protocol"        "PS/2"
   Option        "Emulate3Buttons"    "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier    "Generic Mouse"
   Driver        "mouse"
   Option        "SendCoreEvents"    "true"
   Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
   Option        "Protocol"        "ImPS/2"
   Option        "Emulate3Buttons"    "true"
   Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier    "Default Layout"
   Screen        "Default Screen"
   InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
   InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"
   InputDevice    "Generic Mouse"
EndSection
