toshiba touchpad mouse mouse [SOLVED]

I have recently installed gentoo on my toshiba laptop and the touchpad mouse is working fine. However, I get annoyed with accidentally hitting the touchpad area and it simulating a mouse click. Is there any way I can disable tapping the pad from simulating a mouse click?

Hmm... I'm not sure, but maybe if you changed Option "Emulate3Buttons" to false in xorg.conf.

What model is your touchpad (ALPS or Synaptics)? Are you using Synaptics X driver?

Please post your /proc/bus/input/devices. Also look in /etc/C11/xorg.conf - do you see word "synaptics" enywhere?

You can try disabling tapping with "mousedev.tap_time=0" option (if mousedev driver is compiled as a module put "options mousedev tap_time=0" into your /etc/modprobe.conf)

But I usually recommend installing and setting up synaptics driver ("emerge synaptics" in gentoo I believe).
