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.

I initially posted this bug to the kernel bugtracker at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41252

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!
