Hi all,
Does the latest FC3 kernel (770_FC3) have the necessary patches to
work with a synaptics touchpad? That is, does anyone have synaptics
working with the stock FC3 kernel (without re-compiling or anything
like that)?
I don't know about FC3, but FC2's kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 is fairly similar,
and I have a synaptics touch-pad working fairly well.
Or, actually I don't have the touch-pad working at all, because the only
thing I want to do with my touch-pad is to TURN OFF THE DAMN THING,
especially the BLEEPING TAP-TO-CLICK. The bleeping touch-pad's default
configuration is so sensitive that mere vibration of air molecules appear to
be sufficient to generate mouse-clicks at random intervals.
I'm using the synaptics 0.12.5 driver for X, and here's the relevant
snippets from xorg.conf. Hope this helps.

The blasted thing is for all practical purposes dead now, and I can do my
business with a regular mouse.
