touchpad tap performs a middle button click

[Kevin Kempter]

when I tap my touchpad in my new FC4 installation on an IBM Z60m thinkpad it 
performs a middle mouse button click. How can I change this to do a left 
button click?

Don't know the answer but there have been several postings about the
synaptics touchpad on this list. Search for "Touch Pad Sensitivity" for
a specific threat and "synaptics". The synaptics configuration file
lives in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and some documentation can be found
in /usr/share/doc/synaptics-0.14.0/ Besides this info Google is your
friend too off course.

I had similar issue. It is easy to fix. Look at my section for synaptics 
in xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Synaptics"
         Driver      "synaptics"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
         Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
         Option      "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
         Option      "VertScrollDelta" "60"
         Option      "TapButton2" "1"
EndSection

the last string

Option      "TapButton2" "1"

is the key.
