Description Michal Čihař 2010-02-04 15:50:38 UTC 
After updating Debian package to version 1.5.0, lot of poeple complain that it has disabled their touchpad.

The difference with gpds and without is following:

$ diff synclient-on.txt synclient-off.txt
25,27c25,27
<     MinSpeed                = 0
<     MaxSpeed                = 0
<     AccelFactor             = 0.01
---
>     MinSpeed                = 0.4
>     MaxSpeed                = 0.7
>     AccelFactor             = 0.00995223

<     ClickFinger1            = -48
<     ClickFinger2            = 0
<     ClickFinger3            = -68
---
>     ClickFinger1            = 1
>     ClickFinger2            = 1
>     ClickFinger3            = 1  

It seems that it zeroes Min/Max speed for some reson and changes click behavior.

Thanks reporting.

Click fingers and motion properties had been overwritten default values (in this case, that was 0 or 1) when there is no GConf settings.

I fixed this issue in http://git.gnome.org/browse/gpointing-device-settings/commit/?id=c5cb46692f29f0643f6d64311a76228ee756f5c3
