Synaptics touchpad with X.Org
The default X-Window server in Debian GNU/Linux Testing (Etch) is now X.Org. The XFree86 was abandoned due a license change (what a stupid change!).
To enable tap and drag actions on the touchpad, install the xfree86-driver-synaptics
package, and configure the relevant section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
as follow:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" # Driver "mouse" Driver "synaptics" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" # Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # Option "MaxTapTime" "0" EndSection
