Macbook Pro 3.1 Touchpad Configuration - Jaunty

[lambengolmor]

Hi everybody, I desperatly need help:

-I had an ubuntu 8.10 on my macbookpro 3.1, at installing time I had issues, but I managed to make the touchpad work trough manual editing of Xorg.conf

-I updated to 9.04

-Right click by two finger tapping ceased to work

-I tried everything (reenabiling my manual editing in Xorg.conf, translating that settings in an /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi file etc...) but I got:
A) right clicking but wierd moving mouse cursor
---> some other experiment
B) NOT right clicking AND wierd moving mouse cursor.

Please, I just need a simple but working confturation (don't need middle click, iPod-like rotation and similar...)

Thanks a lot in advance

PS: in gdm mouse cursor behaves quite good, I don't have the possibility to right click in it though (I mean... I don't think I have areas where right-clicking could show any effect)

PPS: I followed some guide but none worked, nor was designed specifically for MBP 3.1 + Jaunty

I haven't had time to try this yet but it looks good. Please let us know if it works for you.

I'm sorry, it didn't work for me, but it could just be that I didn't had a clean Jaunty installation.
In detail:

-mouse click works using mouse button (left click with button, right click with two fingers on pad + button)
-mouse cursor still doesn't move diagonally (it just goes down/up and then left/right: same issue I found here)

Thanks anyway for help!

Sorry, that's stupid, but I edited /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi just after posting and now works quite fine (but the funny cursor movement remains)

this is my appletouch.fdi

Following the steps in the linked page. I get the following error when trying to add the software source.

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8DB7F87A2B97B7B8

Any ideas? Cheers!
