</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Thank you for your replies. <br><br>Nils: mine works the same. I don't
know why I thought it's double tap. man synaptics gave me some ideas
but I still struggle to get everything working the way I want it to.
More about that further down.<br>
<br>Donn: gsynaptics seems to be a nice tool but it doesn't give me any options to change the corner tap action of my touchpad.<br><br><br>I
found out, that the setup is not done in xorg.conf anymore. In order to
activate SHM for gsynaptics I created a file shmconfig.fdi under
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/ with the following content:<br>
<br clear="all"><pre><span><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?></span><br><span><deviceinfo</span> <span>version=</span><span>"0.2"</span><span>></span><br><br> <span><device></span><br>
<span><match</span> <span>key=</span><span>"input.x11_driver"</span> <span>string=</span><span>"synaptics"</span><span>></span><br> <span><merge</span> <span>key=</span><span>"input.x11_options.SHMConfig"</span> <span>type=</span><span>"string"</span><span>></span>True<span></merge></span><br>
<span></match></span><br> <span></device></span><br><span></deviceinfo></span><br></pre><br>Supposedly that does the same as having a line like<br>"Option" "SHMConfig" "True"<br>
in your xorg.conf<br><br>
This switched SHM on which allowed me to run gsynaptics.<br>
But when I added 2 more lines to switch the corner tapping off they didn't have any effect. Here is the complete file:<br>
<br>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><br>
<deviceinfo version="0.2"><br>
<device><br>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics"><br>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">True</merge><br>
<merge key="input.x11_options.RTCornerButton" type="integer">0</merge><br>
<merge key="input.x11_options.RLCornerButton" type="integer">0</merge><br>
</match><br>
</device><br>
</deviceinfo><br>
<br>
Any ideas anybody?<br>
<br>
Any help is appreciated.<br><br>Sascha<br>
