I am NOT seeing this as fixed. I have edge scrolling, the mouse moves and the buttons work, but that's it -- I no longer have two finger scrolling nor tap-to-click.

I setup /etc/hal/fdi/policy/synaptics.fdi with:

<!-- See LP Bug 315882 -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

and rebooted (just in case).

The "modprobe fix" does not work. With proto=imps, clicking works and scrolling stops. Without it, edge scrolling works, but clicking does not.
