Touchpad tap-and-drag

[Paul Lemmons]

Ok, I give. I need help. Been banging my head on this for two hours and 
I *almost* have exactly what I want. That last two feet of the mile is 
killing me though. I want tap-and-drag on my laptop. I have everything 
else working but that.

I did find one reference that made it work at 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/23251 
but it was bitter sweet. I was able to tap-and-drag at the cost of a 
faster mouse cursor, scrolling and coasting. Not much of a boon.

Has anybody had success with this?

I am running Feisty on a Dell Inspiron 600M and here are the pertinent
