Hi, I had a similar problem: I wanted to configure the buttons for single finger tap differently from the default which isn't possible as gnome-settings-daemon has the tap button configuration hard-coded and overwrites anything configured via xorg.conf, hal, udev, etc.
This is a problem which seems to create considerable confusion. Several others have reported this before, see among others <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics/+bug/457622> or <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322497>. I've created a simple patch that allows button configuration via gconf- editor (see attachment). This is a solution that can easily be built upon in gnome-control-center, if sombody likes to provide a more accessible front-end. The gconf settings to be set are: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click_(rt|rb|lt|lb) It would be great if you could include this patch into the next release, either here or upstream. ** Patch added: "tap button configuration via gconf-editor" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50246112/enable-corner-tap-button-config.patch -- No Mouse-Button Reverse Option for Touchpads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
