I believe I have the fix for the problem were xinput reports "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" then if you suspend the system it loads up as "PS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" touchpad not working the same. Here is the list of what I did to fix the problem this also includes fix the disabling the Tap on the Touchpads.
1) Need to edit the /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi a) $ sudo nano -w /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi b) login 2) Need to add the follow lines just before the this section <match key="info.product" contains="AlpsPS/2 ALPS"> <match key="info.product" contains="PS/2 ALPS"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">0</merge> </match> Note: Need to add the line <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">0</merge> into the match section for the <match key="info.product" contains="AlpsPS/2 ALPS"> to get the tap turned off there also. I have test this and it does work for me under xubuntu 8.10. -- Synaptics touchpad not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
