AcerAspireOne Touchpad on Debian

AcerAspireOne with Debian Logo

When installing Debian "Testing" on the AcerAspireOne the touchpad does not register a single tap of the pad as a left mouse click. To rectify this add the following line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

options psmouse proto=imps

According to this Ubuntu source, some setups may be better with exps instead of imps.
