I installed the kernel, but have the same result-- gsynaptics doesn't
disable the tapping. (nor does system, preferences, mouse). I tried loading
gpointing device using synaptics package manager and it looked like it was
installing, but then nothing shows up in system preferences or system
administration, so either I don't know how to work the program or something
didn't work on the install.  I also tried downloading the
gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1.tar.gz<http://sourceforge.jp/projects/gsynaptics/downloads/45812/gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1.tar.gz/>at
the website and using that, but I don't know how to install it. I also
still don't have the edge scrolling back.
