Perfect! To answer my own question, this is both a kernel and a xfree issue. I had to recompile my 2.6 kernel to include support for Event Interface. Once that compiled, I downloaded and installed the driver from the above link (thanks WRG). Finally, I modified my XF86config file as follows: Section "InputDevice" � � Identifier �"Mouse1" � � #Driver����� "mouse" � � Driver������ "synaptics" � � #Option �"Protocol"�"IMPS/2" � � Option ����� "Protocol"�����"auto-dev" � � Option ����� "Device"�������"/dev/psaux" � � Option������ "ZAxisMapping"�"4 5" � � Option������"LeftEdge" � � �"1700" � � Option������"RightEdge" � � "5300" � � Option������"TopEdge" � � � "1700" � � Option������"BottomEdge" � �"4200" � � Option������"FingerLow"�����"25" � � Option������"FingerHigh"����"30" � � Option������"MaxTapTime"����"180" � � Option������"MaxTapMove"����"220" � � Option������"VertScrollDelta" "100" � � Option������"MinSpeed"������"0.06" � � Option������"MaxSpeed"������"0.12" � � Option������"AccelFactor" � "0.0010" � � Option������"SHMConfig"�����"on" � � #Option�����"Repeater"������"/dev/ps2mouse" � � Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection I now have the very cool "tap to click" functionality that I wanted :-) Note: Some binary distributions may have this precompiled, such as Mandrake, RH, Fedora -- z -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
