Angry How to disable touchpad tap


Hi everybody, sorry for my english but my language is another.... anyway... I have installed slackware current (13.0 is the latest stable release) on my eeepc 1000h. In kernel I enabled module for ps/2 mouse, just this. Usb mouse and touchpad work without problem but I want disable the tap features under kde and console, I absolutely hate it.

my mouse xorg.conf-vesa:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"

# The mouse device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

# Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Please help me

Thanks a lot

In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have the following:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver         "synaptics"
    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto-dev"
# No horizontal scrolling:
    Option         "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
# And no tap-to-click:
    Option         "MaxTapTime" "0"
EndSection
And tapping does not click

If your touchpad is not "Synaptics", this is unlikely to work, but maybe worth a try.

You need to restart X (logout, login) for changes to xorg.conf to be seen.

I have never used Slack, but gather it's a bit, different.

I do not have xorg.conf-vesa so I don't know if that is the file that needs the synaptic stuff, or plain old xorg.conf.

I have asked the LQ Mods to move this thread to the LQ Slack forum, where you might get better help for you distro.
