tap-drag on laptop touchpad no longer works in 2.6.15 and 2.6.13

tap-drag on laptop touchpad no longer works in 2.6.15 and 2.6.13

[Scott A Crosby]

I'm not sure if it was a planned change, but the default behavior for
my touchpad has changed --- I can no longer tap-drag.

It works fine in 2.6.10 and no longer works on 2.6.13 or 2.6.15 on my
Dell Inspiron 8200.

The device is recognized (by 2.6.15) as:

Please try installing synaptics X driver:

or use "psmouse.proto=exps" option to restore old behavior.
