Mac: OsX like Synaptics touchpad @ Intrepid Ibex

To make your touchpad behave pretty much like under OSX just create a new file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
      <match key="info.product" contains="appletouch">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">3</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">2</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.FingerLow" type="string">10</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.FingerHigh" type="string">20</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.PressureMotionMinZ" type="string">10</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
