Never, ever, ever do this. Ever. Configure synaptics using xinput.
What would be the correct way to enable synclient support? I didn't find
any documentation so had to go poking to figure out the "right" thing.
Beyond that, I can't find bugs filed from you on any of the
"It doesn't
work" issues.
I only just found all of these issues. I'll file some bugs later.
It's not acceptable for users to have to remove packages, run
scripts or
manually change VTs in order for this to work, and perpetuating these
workarounds in locations that are likely to encoruage others to do the
same just means that it's less likely we'll ever fix the underlying
problem.
I agree. I'm not interested in perpetuating anything, however I am
interested in a Macbook being useful right now rather than in 6 or 12
months from now. Therefore I'll take some horrible VT hack for suspend,
and I'll live with a kludged up mouse driver that actually works for me.
I wanted to share some instructions for those who can't figure this out
but nonetheless do buy a Macbook and want to run Fedora with it today.
Also, I repartitioned part of it earlier in order to keep a small
staging (F13) and rawhide around. I'll try the latest bits and give an
update on what works - I don't mind being a guinea pig and rebooting to
test, but I'm not running rawhide as my regular desktop experience ;)
Jon.
