This is merely an 'me too' comment with yet another workaround suggestion, working for me. My environment: HP NX6325 Ubuntu 6.0.6 lts Linux user-laptop 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:50:50 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux Symptoms, same as with original poster, touchpad started to misbehave after certain, yet unknown upgrade. Workaround: 1. Downloaded Synaptics driver package from maintainer's site and recompiled. http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/files/ 2. The recompile worked fine, but resulted in synaptics_drv.o while xorg server as it is running at my Ubuntu is requiring shared object, synaptics_drv.so 3. Hacked the driver package makefile, to force the xorg recognition, and built the .so driver. Here is my diff to original, quick and dirty, basically forcing the recognition of xorg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/synaptics-0.14.6$ diff makefile.rs Makefile 29d28 BUILD_MODULAR = y 33d31 INSTALLED_X = /usr/X11R6 35d32 INPUT_MODULE_DIR = /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input 40,41c37 # SDKDIR = $(shell pkg-config xorg-server --variable=sdkdir) SDKDIR = /usr/include/xorg --- SDKDIR = $(shell pkg-config xorg-server --variable=sdkdir) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/synaptics-0.14.6$ 4. Copied .so driver over the original, misbehaving one. Restarted. 5. Writing this post, touchpad back to normal. :) Conclusion: This is yet another workaround, and Ubuntu packagers should provide us with synaptics-0.14.6 XORG driver package, which apparently solved the problem, at least on my setup.

I saw this tapping issue after a recent update on an IBM ThinkPad T41 running Dapper. Any fix yet? MaxTapTime was already set previously, and somehow, things broke after we updated. I can say that it did work in kernel revision 2.6.15-25-386, but broke when we upgraded an booted 2.6.15-26-386. However, trying kernel 2.6.15-25-386 from GRUB does not resolve the issue now. It appears that something got really broken between the update a few weeks ago, and the recent update like a week and a half ago. Hrm... Any ETA on a fix yet? Does anyone even have an idea what happened? Could it be that it got broken in the attempt to fix the crazy touchpad symptoms mentioned in June?

[Bug 47971] Re: [Bug 47971] Re: synaptics touch pad(laptop) clicks when i dont want it to
This thread has degenerated into two seperate issues: 1) Cannot disable the tap to click feature 2) crazy and random mouse. This fix resolves the tap to click issue. It has had mixed success on the random mouse issue. If you are sure that your setup works with windows, I would try using a purely xfree and xorg environment and see if one or the other works better. This will require using two different live CDs I believe debian has xfree86 instead of xorg, so I recommend you give it a try and see if it works. If it does not, it is likely a probelem with the configuration of your kernel. You might try scaling back your mouse module to the most basic mouse by adding the proper switch to the proper module in the /etc/modules file. Also, previously ALPS pads were slightly different than synaptics pads. You should find out which pad you use (which can be a chore) and see if anyone else is having a problem with it. At one point I had to build a custom configged and patched kernel to get this feature work because the ALPS pad was not supported by the kernel at that time. This issue sounds like the mouse is getting out of sync with the driver. This is a common problem among those who use KVM switches. Try to also make sure that you are not doing anything weird with your screen. You may be able to fix the issue by switching to a terminal (ctrl + alt + f1) and then switching back to the graphical interface (... + f7). Sorry I don't have a definite answer for you reguarding this issue.
