Bug#624576: Resolved

[ael <law_ence.dev@ntlworld.com>]

After reading the revised man pages (much improved, by the way)
and a bit of experimentation, I now have the touchpad working again.
Here is the extract from the working /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputClass"

	Identifier	"Synaptics TouchPad"
	MatchProduct	"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
	MatchDevicePath	"/dev/input/event*"
	MatchIsTouchpad	"true"
	Driver	"synaptics"
	Option	"LeftEdge"	"1700"
	Option	"RightEdge"	"5700"
	Option	"TopEdge"	"1700"
	Option	"BottomEdge"	"5100"
	Option	"FingerLow"	"25"
	Option	"FingerHigh"	"30"
	Option	"MaxTapTime"	"180"
	Option	"MaxTapTime"	"180"
	Option	"MaxDoubleTapTime"	"140"
	Option	"AccelFactor"	"0.02"
	Option	"VertEdgeScroll"	"true"
	Option	"VertScrollDelta"	"100"
	Option	"VertTwoFingerScroll"	"true"
	Option	"HorizTwoFingerScroll"	"true"
	Option	"MinSpeed"	"0.5"
	Option	"MaxSpeed"	"20"
	Option	"HorizEdgeScroll"	"true"
	Option	"TapButton1"	"1"
	Option	"TapButton2"	"2"
	Option	"RTCornerButton" "2"
EndSection

The values above seem to work quite well on a very small touchpad
on a netbook. I know that others have found such examples helpful:
they have emailed me about getting touchpads working.

Thanks for the help. I will now close this bug.
