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

I had similar issue. It is easy to fix. Look at my section for synapticsin 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.
