[SOLVED] Macbook 2.1 Touchpad Second Click

[kestaz]

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 latest version. I searched Ubuntu Wiki how to configure touchpad. I made configuration in /etc/hal/fdi/policy folder:

kestaz@macbook:/etc/hal/fdi/policy$ cat tesd.fdi

Hi there,

For users adding the previous configuration stated by the user and realize that tapping and right click(with both two fingers) on the touchpad doesn't work you can try the following configuration. In my MacBook Pro 2.1 the synaptics touchpad now works fluently.


Note the difference is that we added some more keys to initialize the tap and the right click.
