I edited Xorg.conf as suggested here to control the speed of pointer movement for Apple Magic Trackpad in 12.04.1 and it works.



But now the trackpad does not recognize tap-to-click. I read the man page for synaptics but since I am a noob could make much out of it.



Appreciate community help.

change this line in your xorg.conf


Option         "TapButton1" "0"

into this:


Option         "TapButton1" "1"

TapButton(number) sets the mouse event to trigger when you tap your trackpad with (number)fingers. "0" means disabled, "1" means left-click, "2" means middle-click, "3" means right-click.




example


If you want a tap with 2 fingers to be registered as a right-click, set:


Option        "TapButton2" "3"



Alternatively you can delete all three "TapButton" lines from your xorg.conf and the tap-click behaviour should go back to the way it was before.
