Dear Sirs, I was wondering why is that in Fedora Core, the Synaptics Touchpad is not supported, whereas in Redhat 9 and Redhat WS3, it is. I can guide the cursor through the touchpad but I cannot tap it to close webpages or access programs. I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 with Fedora Core 2 installed. Will this be corrected in the final release of Fedora Core 3? Also, I notice that


FC3 current rawhide includes the synaptics driver and for me it works
with tapping, scrolling etc. I had to run system-config-display --
reconfig to get it working, but it *does* work :-)

Cheers

This works most of the time for me. (Synaptics after s-c-display --reconfig). I get occasional problems with a lockup or losing mouse control, but very rare.

As far as the not supported. It was due to the change in kernels (2.6) The synaptics driver is now needed. Thanks for including the driver in the distribution and have it configured easily for the user.
