Comment 0 for bug 972727

I use a Synaptics Clickpad touchpad. It has no physical buttons, the entire pad works like a button, and there is a right-click area where pressing the pad should register a right click. This feature does not work. In OpenSuSE 11.4 and 12.1, this worked. At the same time, double-tapping a white dot in the left-top corner should disable the touchpad. This does not work either.

I saw somewhere that right-button area was marked as too late for Precise by Chase Douglas. When can we expect this functionality to work? Is there any workaround, like using the OpenSuSE package?
