Touchpad stops working on GNome3 - Solution

Assalam Aleikum all,

Last week i experienced the same problem on my Fedora 15 Dell Inspiron.
After searching the net i came across a solution which worked for me.

1. As root or using sudo create file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-enable-taps.conf"
2. Enter the following in the file:

Code:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "tap-by-default"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection


Worked for me after restarting X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). no need to reboot the machine
