Hi,
I can't live without my touchpad extentions (scrolling, tap to click,
etc). All provided somehow by the synaptics driver, but I've never
really looked into how.
Recently I noticed it stopped working but I don't know what I've changed
as I've been docked for so long with a usb mouse.

Yesterday I was just looking for a solution to this same problem on my
notebook.
I have found out that synaptics now defaults to dual finger scrolling
(see the man mage), and tap to click is off by default. I have added the
following in my configuration file:
hm, I don't like it when defaults change so dramatically! So the
problem wasn't evdev / hal related. Why on earth would tap to click be
turned off by default now?
Two finger scrolling was on, but "broken" on the new synaptic driver, as
every time I scroll up, then lift my finger off, it scrolls down further
than I can scroll up!
Even the acceleration had changed to make it unusable. I've left the
evdev mouse driver as a second mouse to catch all usb mice, and I have
my touchpad as the default:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptic Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
# turn on finger tap:
Option "TapButton1" "1" # Left button
# don't use two finger scrolling:
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "false"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "false"
# use edge scroll areas:
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
#continue scrolling when touchpad end reached
Option "CornerCoasting" "true"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "2"
#set speed and accel:
Option "MinSpeed" "0.20"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.60"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.020"
EndSection
Note I only used TapButton1, not 2 and 3, as I want to double tap for a
double click, not double tap for a midle/right click.
thanks for all the suggestions!
