    I tried 2.6.1 with that option set as above, and also with it set to
    base. In both cases I don't seem to get tap-to-click. In
    2.6.1-rc1-mm1 with psmouse_noext=1, I get tap-to-click.

    I notice that the passthrough appears as an extra device (mouse1 on my
    system). Is there a way to disable devices from userspace? I did
    find the place in the synaptics driver that looks like it is where the
    passthrough port is registered, so I guess I could take that out as a
    last resort. But it's a pain having to remember to patch my kernel
    every time I upgrade.
