I saw this tapping issue after a recent update on an IBM ThinkPad T41 running Dapper. Any fix yet? MaxTapTime was already set previously, and somehow, things broke after we updated. I can say that it did work in kernel revision 2.6.15-25-386, but broke when we upgraded an booted 2.6.15-26-386. However, trying kernel 2.6.15-25-386 from GRUB does not resolve the issue now. It appears that something got really broken between the update a few weeks ago, and the recent update like a week and a half ago. Hrm...

Any ETA on a fix yet? Does anyone even have an idea what happened? Could it be that it got broken in the attempt to fix the "crazy touchpad" symptoms mentioned in June? And that the July fix broke the ability to disable the tapping functionality?
