Bug Description

On the Acer Aspire One 150, under Karmic Alpha 2, the touchpad doesn't respond to tapping that allows the touchpad to be used for left-button clicking. The physical buttons work fine.

In the mouse settings, the option to allow tapping to be used as left-clicking was toggled, and still doesn't work.

As far as I know, the touchpad is by Synaptics, but don't quote me on that :P

Did you install all available updates? This sounds like a duplicate of bug 378391 that was fixed after alpha2.

I got my hands on Alpha 3 just recently and gave it a spin, seems like all is well now.

I am running Karmic Beta 1, installed all updates, and my track pad is not allowing left clicks by tapping the pad.

This was fixed after alpha2. Though it has been changed again since Beta 1.

My mistake, the setting in the mouse properties applet for touch pad left click on tap is set to off by default
