Discovered tap-drag with synaptics today

Hah! Made my daily discovery. Tapping then dragging works to do a mouse dragging operation with my synaptics touchpad. I've been using this laptop for years and never figured that out. I've been using the touchpad buttons and dragging with the touchpad instead.

I also figured out that you can "hand off" the drag to the finger on your other hand when you run out of space to drag.


Also under knoppix, if you want tapping to work (mine doesn't by default) type:

synclient TapButton1=1

into a command prompt.
