Public bug reported: After updating to the latest packages in xorg-edgers, the KCM for the touchpad crashes -- or, more precisely, causes a segfault 11 in kcmshell4. I had to revert to an earlier version of the driver. Also, tap-to-click doesn't work.
Broken version: 1.6.99+git20120521.a9d247d0-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise Working version: 1.6.0-0ubuntu1~precise1 Here's the backtrace from KDE's crash handler... probably not useful, let me know if you need something more/different: Application: KDE Control Module (kcmshell4), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
