RobertGilbert, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit Installation Type: Clean Install, Updated to current as of 1/19/09 2000 EDT Repositories Enabled: Proposed repository enabled. As well as all of the other default repositories, OpenOffice PPA, Wine and VirtualBox Bluetooth H/W: D-Link DBT-120 B4 Bluetooth H/W: Microsoft Bluetooth desktop USB adapter Mouse H/W: Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Model A1197 Mouse H/W: Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth Mouse H/W: Apple Wired Mighty Mouse Model A1152 Mouse H/W: Logitech V270 Bluetooth Mouse Mouse H/W: Internal Dell Synaptics touchpad Issue: When adding or removing another mouse, the "Enable Tapping" in gsynaptics becomes checked again. This occurs whenever any mouse, bluetooth or wired becomes available to the system. Solution: None. Status: Regression from Ubuntu 7.04. Tapping was successfully disabled in 7.04 using the synaptics entry in xorg.conf and adding SHMConfig True. Gsynaptics was then able to run and Enable Tapping was able to be unchecked. This setting was respected with other mice being added/removed from system. This system is a laptop and mice are added when sitting at a desk. This occurred frequently and therefore would have been noticed in the 7.04 installation. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install 8.10 clean. 2. Enable SHMConfig in xorg.conf by adding a touchpad device entry Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" Option "CorePointer" EndSection 3. Restart X 4. Login and start gsynaptics 5. Disable "Enable Tapping" 6. Tap on touchpad to ensure tapping was disabled -> passed 7. Attach USB Wired Mighty Mouse 8. Tap on touchpad to see current behavior -> Tapping is enabled again. Attempted Fixes: 1. Modify xorg.conf to add Option "MaxTapTime" "0", Restart X Result: Same result, tapping was enabled again after Mighty Mouse was Attached. 2. Pair Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse Result: Same result. Steps Not Attempted: 1. None Reason: Could not find any other solution.
