Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070517-1
Severity: normal
When I use the new version 0.14.7~git20070517-1 of the synaptics driver,
I can no longer do proper tapping with my finger, and whenever I put my
finger down on the touchpad (appletouch) the mouse cursor jumps around.
When jumping around, the cursor appears to favour moving to the left,
but I couldn't really see any sense in the position it jumped to, it
definitely wasn't the position I'd have expected for an absolute pad
driven by the standard X driver.
I have verified that synaptics is used (by turning the touchpad off with
synclient) and I have diffed for new config options in .7, these are:
* FingerPress,
* TrackstickSpeed and
* EmulateTwoFingerMinZ
but changing them doesn't have any effect on the jumping cursor behaviour.
To summarize:
Instead of doing a button press when tapping the touchpad, the mouse cursor
jumps around randomly with version 0.14.7~git...-1, I initially thought this
was the "trackstick emulation" but that doesn't seem to be the case based
on the description and the fact that the new options don't affect the
observed behaviour.

Ok, thank you, closing the bug then.
