Synaptics Touchpad

[Sean C Sieger]

Hello --

I can move the pointer around using the touchpad, however, I don't
dare tap-to-click as doing so pastes whatever I copied last (I have
pasted some pretty wicked stuff in login fields) or does nothing at
all when I tap on an app button.

I have been working on other issues when I came upon this over on
ubuntu-devel:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
	# Option	"LeftEdge"      	"1700"
	# Option	"RightEdge"     	"5300"
	# Option	"TopEdge"       	"1700"
	# Option	"BottomEdge"    	"4200"
	# Option	"FingerLow"		"25"
	# Option	"FingerHigh"		"30"
	# Option	"MaxTapTime"		"180"
	# Option	"MaxTapMove"		"220"
	# Option	"VertScrollDelta"	"100"
	# Option	"MinSpeed"		"0.06"
	# Option	"MaxSpeed"		"0.12"
	# Option	"AccelFactor"		"0.0010"
	Option		"SHMConfig"		"on"
	# Option	"Repeater"		"/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection

Can I somehow use that to get rid of this seemingly useless bit
in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
 	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
        Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option		"HorizScrollDelta"	"0"
EndSection

I have tried myself and crashed xserver several times.
