Looking at the output of gsynaptics, there is nothing really wrong with it. It
all depends on what the programmer intended.
If you delete the parameter file completely, the touchpad works with default
settings. In my case, "tap to click" is on (which I do not like) and
"auto-scrolling" is on, (which I also do not like) and a bit of "acceleration"
is on (which I do not mind).
If gsynaptics is only supposed to output the changes from the default, then it
is working correctly. In that case, the problem is that the program that reads
the parameter file is mistakenly losing settings that it should keep.
The only way to know for sure is to open up the source code and read any
comments made by the programmers -- which is what I was hoping I would not have
to do. I was hoping that someone would recognize what was going on and say
"gee, I guess I forgot to set a variable here" and then a simple change would
be made and we would all be happy.
Life is never that simple is it? :-)
