Hi there

Is there a setting somewhere that will let me turn off the 'tapping'
feature of my laptop touchpad (Synaptics on an Acer). I've never been
good with it and it makes life very frustrating for me!

I've gone into KDE Control Center/Peripherals/Mouse, but everything refers
to an actual mouse as opposed to the built in touchpad. I still want to
use the touchpad, but want to actually click my left and right buttons for
action and not worry about setting of a click accidentally.

Thanks!

I did this on a dell inspiron 1000, the actions may be seen on a search
on google groups using the search string
dell inspiron 1100 - synaptics touchpad (suse 9.1)
and (my) post of may 10 2005 there from domain (candt.demon.co.uk) with
subject
9.3 and Touchpad
gives a summary with a file listing extract.

post again if there are questions.

I solved my touchpad problems in older versions of SuSE with SaX2.
