[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported

[Martin von Gagern]

Unfortunately the bcm5974-dkms PPA module is delivered as full text
source, not as a patch against some underlying kernel source. So when
comparing that file to the one in the current kernel, and as I don't
know the common ancestor, I don't know which modifications were
introduced in the kernel since then, and which were deliberate for the
dkms module. Looking at the kernel git history, I get the impression
that both drivers include the same kind of features, although not in the
same wording. Therefore the kernel driver seems recent enough to me.

I just found out that by simply adjusting some settings using synclient,
I could get tapping to work. So it seems that the default config simply
doesn't provide OS-X-like behaviour, and that furthermore the settings
from my own fdi file weren't used for some reason. Investigating that
now...
