Actually I also had the impression that the touchpad responds somehow slow. I use a ASUS Zenbook UX31A and found this bug report by accident. While everything else is configurable via gui settings the "tap to click response" is just slow.
For me synclient FastTaps=1 MaxDoubleTapTime=100 fixed the problem but I don't understand why it isn't the default. I know other people which use Ubuntu and sometimes tap a few times because the default settings just feel unresponsive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449208 Title: touchpad tap-to-click response delayed .5 seconds Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse This almost seems related to bug # 54191, but I can't reproduce it the way that bug states. I'm running Karmic Koala fully updated and just enabled "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" using the gnome-mouse- properties GUI. While it now accepts left-clicks by tapping the touchpad, it seems to take about 1/2 seconds for it to respond. The left mouse hard-buttons (above and below the touchpad) still respond immediately. hardware is Latitude D630 Synaptics Touchpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/449208/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
