Title:
  Mac installer for 11.10 has bad trackpad defaults for Macbook

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I just installed the beta 2 of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Macbook Air and the
  mouse was a nightmare to use until I changed the options in the system
  settings of the installer. It defaulted to tap to touch which a Mac
  user would not be used to, especially as pressing down on the touchpad
  is a click. It also seemed a bit sensitive. This option should be
  turned off as it conflicts with the standard usage of clicking. It
  made dragging windows around and clicking menus a nightmare.

  The options to use 2 fingered scrolling (both vertical and horizontal)
  should be turned on by default as well to give Mac users a familiar
  interface to operate Ubuntu with. If having this Mac specific build is
  to give users more Mac friendly options then they should at least be
  enabled by default to provide a familiar interface for the user.

  Also note that these options are the default in the installer and on a
  fresh installation and should be changed in both.
