Thats right. Our previous touchpads had tap-to-click on for a long time and it was the cause of a lot of disruption and confusion in the field. Search the archives for more info. Some of our users were now liking the similarity to their other devices, and yes of course others hated it.

In this build you can enable tap to click by modifying /etc/modprobe.d/olpc-psmouse.conf. This is the same for older laptops which have synaptics touchpads. In future builds the methodology needed to make this customisation may change, but we'll do our best to leave the option in some accessible place, and potentially in the UI later on.

OLPC of course approves such changes, but the user-interface impact slipped past us at the time. the AVC pads also enable tap-to-click by default, and for uniformity we should have disabled it by default. but it require a different command sequence for disabling, and for various reasons the change didn't happen until today's os7. so the answer to your question is yes, the presence of tap-to-click on your laptops is unintended.

Or, does the AVC adjective limit this fix to a specific architecture build? it's not out of the question that this could be made user-selectable, but there are no current plans to do so. paul Thanks KG XO-1.75 RenderAccel disabled for increased graphics stability #11275 NORM 11.3.0: Add Browse 127 to the build #11078 NORM 11.3.0: minicom, lockdev and screen don't work after reboot due to rwtab tmpfs mounts #11097 Bump firefox and xulrunner to .20 versions (or the latest security update) (3.6.22) #11275 Add Browse 127 to the build #11214: migrate /boot/olpc.fth out of bootfw and into olpc-os-builder Changes and notes from os6: kernel: - AVC hack to disable tap to click Activity changes: -Browse-126 +Browse-127 ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel part 2 text/plain 129 ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel =- paul fox, p...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
