Great!  This is very helpful.

To get this to work under RH 9 I had to download the source and comment 
out line 336 of the synaptics.c file.  The rpm did not work for me.

Also, despite what the --help says, the -t option doesn't work; to turn 
off the tapping you need to specify the option --tapmode=0.
