I haven't checked the patches shown here, however OpenSuSe had its own patches for Clickpad, that worked fine with kernel 2.6.37.6, but did not with newer 3.0.x kernels.

OK, it looks like clickpad support still hasn't made it into official
xf86-input-synaptics driver and adding multifinger support to kernel driver
broke SUSE's detection of clickpads (they detect clickpads by having BTN_LEFT
capability only, and we started reporting BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP). They should
switch to checking INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD.
Could someone *please* take care about the implementation!
