Comment 12 for bug 545307

I wish I could say it's all set. I'd be delighted if gsynaptics were
working. Unfortunately in gsynaptics, even though I unclick "enable
touchpad" and unclick "enable tapping," the tap-to-click still works. So I
still can't get rid of the problem that if I touch the touch pad by mistake
I am suddenly typing somewhere else on the page....Sorry, I know how much
work you have done...Is the kernel for this Alps touchpad fixed in Lucid?
(It wasn't when I tried on March 16th). If it is easier for you to have me
switch to that, let me know.
