Why was the driver updated in F10 when the application wasn't ready to handle it ? I'm guessing that 25% of the "leading edge" people that make up Fedora users are running laptops. And as of this point in time, we have no way to control our touchpads. We can't turn them off, we can't set a scroll area, we can't set the tap characteristics. Nothing. Does that sound production ready to you ? If someone explains the security problem to me, I'll investigate further and test ksynaptics with the F8 driver.
