I had the same problem after upgrading to 9.10 alpha. The fix was to :/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ Reboot Go under System -> Preferences -> Mouse Go under the "Touchpad" tab Select (check off) the "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" box (While you are there, you may wish to disable it while typing =) ) -- Source rename clobbered local changes (so tapping not working in Karmic) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378391 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
