Bought a new laptop HP 470 and have this annoying mouse jumps with the touchpad. For instance, I go to CUT in the context menu and till I tap it jumps to COPY, or I go to GO TO PARENT FOLDER and it jumps to EDIT or VIEW. A few times I was trying to open a folder and it drags and drops it in the above folder. Simply annoying. Googled a bit and created one file called synaptics.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following
inside a xterm with different numeric values, that is my setting for a laptop. If you find a value that seems to work add it to your ~/.xinitrc. See "man xset"

I think I see some results with
Code:
xset m 1 1
but still not perfect. And in order for this to work I had to put it in ~/.bashrc.

Just checked "synclient -l" and it shows 25 and 30. Seems like neither the file synaptics.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that I created, nor the suggestion from John does anything although I get the feeling that they have some effect. Where exactly are Finger low and high settings located?
With slackware the "proper" way is to copy /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and then edit it. The main difference I see between that file and the one you created is that the slackware file uses "InputClass" and your file uses "InputDevice".
