I have a question on making touchpad tap to click work before login.
Certainly once logged in to Gnome you can easily switch on tap to click for synaptics touchpads by going into the preferences menus.
I usually like to have tap to click working at the login greeter stage and I read that the way to do it was to paste into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf the lines: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "TapButton1" "1" EndSection
Does anyone know if this is the best way to achieve this, or is there a better way in F13?

Thanks for the link - that is actually the way I used to do it in earlier versions of Fedora but I understood that HAL is slowly being obsoleted and that was why I was asking about any new method and perhaps udev is the way forward now rather than HAL? I guess HAL is not yet deprecated but will be soon so if there is a method that will remain suitable through the next few Fedora released then it would be useful to try it now?

I'd suggest taking a look at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration
So, yes, thats the way in F13+

Thank you Kevin - I was unaware of that page - and very useful too....
