    Touchpad seems to frequently not detect tap clicks on my new AO532H.
    I attempted to enable settings in HAL (by making .fdi files) so I could test better settings, but synclient reports no synaptic driver.

    And Xorg doesn't seem to see it either...

    $ xinput list

    So question is... is there a way to load a diff driver... installed backports to make wifi work better. Is there something along those lines to get a newer driver working for the ALPS? (I only know its ALPS because I dual boot and Win7 Starter sees it as ALPS touchpad)
