I tried 2.6.1 with that option set as above, and also with it set to base. In both cases I don't seem to get tap-to-click. In 2.6.1-rc1-mm1 with psmouse_noext=1, I get tap-to-click.

I notice that the passthrough appears as an extra device (mouse1 on my system). Is there a way to disable devices from userspace? I did find the place in the synaptics driver that looks like it is where the passthrough port is registered, so I guess I could take that out as a last resort. But it's a pain having to remember to patch my kernel every time I upgrade.
