Laptop, Synaptic Touchpad - Disable tapping

Below is the config for my touchpad mouse in XF86Config. I am trying to find a way to disable tapping (it's bloody annoying!).

I tried going the way of tpconfig, however that packaged was masked and masked for good reason. It crashed my sys then knocked out mouse function completely. Had to remove it and gpm (also not very needed imo).

Any ideas how to remove this most annoying feature

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "GlidePointPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Like the man files for tpconfig say you have to be sure an run it before anything else is run that accesses your mouse. I just used it the other day to do what you are wanting to do. Just make sure you run it before gpm or anything else and you should be fine.

BTW does "GlidePointPS/2" give you anything beyond "PS/2"?

Hmm, I'll give it a shot.

In regard to the glidepoint thing....no it does not. Just one of the lines I have messed with trying to get it to behave.
