Can that patch be downloaded somewhere to patch against 2.6.8.1? I don't
have any tapping support for my synaptic touchpad on my compaq laptop after
switching from 2.4 to 2.6.
It seems that most of the patches at http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/input/2_6_7/
are already in 2.6.8.1: Just the tapping stuff seems to be missing. And
I can't extract your patch from the 2.6.9-rc1-mm2 stuff, because it seems
to be mixed with some other patches there.
Is there a sole version of this patch fir 2.6.8.1 somewhere?
cu,
Frank

No, I don't think I have one... If you are using BitKeeper, yo could just do:
bk pull bk://dtor.bkbits.net/input
But have you tried installing XFree86/XOrg Synaptics driver
(http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html)?
It does support tapping just fine...

I will try that (not having bitkeeper yet, but I planned to do install for
some time... You always need a reason to be pushed :-))

I will try. I had already looked at the page, but it says "If you use a
2.6 linux kernel, you might want to try Dmitry Torokhov's kernel patches."
so that's looked at your patches first :-)
I will try both your proposals and report sucess.
Thanks!

Yes, that works, as well as the gpm version I have (I just had to
detect the evdev option :-)).
And I also had success with the psmouse.proto=bare option which I just
checked to see if it works...
