Synaptics Clickpad functionalities incomplete: two-tap disabling

[carlosv]

I have a HP touchsmart tm2 laptop with a Synaptics Clickpad.

The device has a two-tap disabling feature with a LED that turns on when disabling that doesn't in Ubuntu. Nether the two-tap and nether the LED.

Seems that OpenSuse dropped the double-tap patches as request https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/129428 :(
