Regarding the change from HAL to UDEV which inspired this bug report,
and my request for more information, I found this webpage which
provides some good information:
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/InputConfiguration
for my own case on an eeepc with an ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad the
solution was to create a file similar to
/lib/udev/rules.d/66-xorg-synaptics.rules, called 66-xorg-synaptics.rules
but in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory, and containing something like the
following:
----- CONTENTS -----
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_synaptics_end"
KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="xorg_synaptics_end"
ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD}!="1", GOTO="xorg_synaptics_end"
ENV{x11_driver}="synaptics"
# Elantech PS/2 for Eeepc 901
# replace 901 with your value from
# /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
ATTR{device/name}=="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton1}="1", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton2}="2", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton3}="3", \
ENV{x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll}="1"
# comment out, add or change x11_options to your preference
# use 'man synaptics ' for options and descriptions
LABEL="xorg_synaptics_end"
----- END CONTENTS -----
after a reboot it was obvious that these values were in effect
for the touchpad, whereas prior to this they were not.
