I don't know what release they are using, or were using. I don't know if they mean XO-1.5 or XO-1. XO-1.5 touchpad behaviour was changed; tap to click was disabled or enabled. Default varied by release, and the default should be configurable. XO-1 touchpad behaviour was changed. Latest OLPC release on XO-1 is 10.1.3, which has no touchpad change compared to 10.1.2, so I presume they were on 8.2.1 or a derivative previously? Two XO-1 changes may be relevant: 1. the enabling of automatic power management from 8.2.1 to 10.1.3, which causes touchpad to be momentarily unresponsive when the laptop is suspended; this is in the release notes [1], so OLPC did include a heads up, 2. the revised kernel driver for XO-1 touchpad [2], which changes the behaviour somewhat; this is not in the release notes. It went in with 10.1.1. Please encourage them to be involved in testing of development builds, so that they can provide feedback early.
