My original xorg.conf file from the out of the box install was
completely empty, apparently. As such I can't actually attach it here in
Launchpad. Suffice to say, I experienced the touchpad issue using the
empty xorg.conf file, even when supplying the fdi file for the hal
policy.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg

The touchpad for MacBook 5.1 is not supported completely in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) as of Alpha 5 release. The pointer can move, and a physical left-click works, but that's it. I can not get tapping to respond as I could using the Mactel PPA packages with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I added the attached FDI policy file for the touchpad, and manually added the module bcm5974 to my /etc/modules file, however, Xorg is not loading or is not recognizing the touchpad policies. This file worked on Intrepid. The custom bcm5974-dkms package from the Mactel PPA provided support in Intrepid.
