Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I forgot to subscribe to the bug...

With 2.26.1, /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click does not
exist.  With 2.28.1-1, it exists and was set to false.  I set it to
true, and 2/3 button mouse clicking works, thanks!

However, now I have another strange problem: pressing with 2 fingers is
now the right button, while before it was the wheel button.  The same
thing when taping with 3 fingers (now it's bound to wheel, instead of
right mouse button).

I have rebooted the computer, still the same wrong result.

Here is some result with the new g.s.d.:
snoopy:~$ synclient -l|grep TapBut
    TapButton1              = 1
    TapButton2              = 3
    TapButton3              = 2

Still, this is curious, because I have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
snoopy:~$ grep TapBut /etc/X11/xorg.conf
	Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
	Option          "TapButton2"            "2"
	Option          "TapButton3"            "3"

Also, changing manually the buttons:
snoopy:~$ synclient TapButton2=2
snoopy:~$ synclient TapButton3=3
does not change anything :o(

In fact, it seems that the TapButton[1-3] synaptics config options are
not taken into account anymore, because even if I change them in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, this does not change anything either :o(

Do you know what happens?  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics has not changed
since June...
