Can I disable "click-on-tap" for my mousepad on my Dell Inspiron 8100?? I'm always clicking on things I don't want to, and moving focus to places that I don't want to. It's really messing up my productivity. I'm using KDE as my desktop, BTW. Thanks in advance for any help!

If it's the same touchpad driver as my Dell (Synaptics, right?), then I can help. Do you have the "synaptics" input driver installed? It should be mentioned in the INPUT_DEVICES variable in make.conf. Here's mine for reference: | Code: | | INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" |
If you don't already have this, then you'll need to modify make.conf and then do an "emerge --update --deep --newuse world".
If you've already gotten that taken care of, then it's simple. In your xorg.conf, you should have an "InputDevice" section for the "mouse". It should have, among other things | Code: | Driver "synaptics"
Option "TouchpadOff" "2" |
The second line is the one you need to add (if everything else is set up) to turn off touch clicks. If you need any more help beyond that, look in the /usr/share/doc/synaptics directory. If you need any more help beyond that, feel free to write back.
