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
