I beg to differ. psmouse.proto=imps enabled full functionality on my hardware and broke nothing.

So as I said before either may suit his needs. People have had different experiences based on their hardware.

Good news ahead! The newer versions of Fedora will have the synaptics driver configured into them via the system-config-display program.


I've been using the psmouse.proto=imps added to the grub.conf fle previously. Today, I was able to reconfig this to work with system-config-display --reconfig -- I had to edit the python script for s-c-display, but this is using the development programs. The next version should work correctly initially.

There are plans to also have system-config-mouse have the ability to set the advanced options later on, when time permits the development.

Meanwhile, adding psmouse.proto=imps to the grub.conf file worked pretty much the same. I'd like to say that using the synaptics driver available from development works better. I don't see any improvements or regressions in using the driver over the grub.conf addition. There may be, but not overwhelming.

You might want to read the fedora-test-list archives for further discussions and information.
