I'm also experiencing this issue. Opening up xev the trackpad doesn't produce any events on anything other than left click (I don't know if it should be expected to if the problem is simply that the FDI is not being utilized).

The pointer can move, and a physical left-click works, but that's it. I can not get tapping to respond as I could using the Mactel PPA packages with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I added the attached FDI policy file for the touchpad, and manually added the module bcm5974 to my /etc/modules file, however, Xorg is not loading or is not recognizing the touchpad policies. This file worked on Intrepid. The custom bcm5974-dkms package from the Mactel PPA provided support in Intrepid. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
