Have been trying to get my Synaptics touchpad 'double tap' function working under SuSE 9.1 but no luck so far (a PS/2 mouse works fine and other buttons near touchpad seem OK too).

Found a couple of tips Googling:

1. Add line 'psmouse.proto=imps' in the grub.conf file.
tried this but did not work...even after a reboot (if I needed to I don't rightly know). Why is this line supposed to be added to grub.conf as opposed to something like /etc/x11/XF86Config...'input devices'


2. The only other hint was a bit technical (creating pipes and gpm data) for me..but hoping some bright spark might be able to translate the info given under 'Touchpad' at:

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Ps. Thanks all who contributed to solving the repeating keys in SuSE....this problem seems to have disappeared for me too.....ah the benefits of lurking quietly ;-)


Hi Ralph,

Here's the section from my Tosh XF... but double tap seems to = 2 x 1 tap!

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Buttons" "3"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
        Option      "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection

I have an alternate section that I stole from somewhere... but dunno what it 
does!

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse2"
        Driver "synaptics"
        Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
        Option "RightEdge" "5400"
        Option "TopEdge" "1900"
        Option "BottomEdge" "4000"
        Option "FingerLow" "25"
        Option "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
        Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
        Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
        Option "SHMConfig" "on"
        # Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection
(if you change the device to the correct one, it *might* work!)
