Disabling tapping Slackware 12.0


Hey guys, this is my first post, but I've read many helpful articles and I would like to thank the community for all your help.

I've had Slackware 12.0 for about a week now, I also have Ubuntu and openSUSE so I have some Linux experience. But I'm stuck on this, I can't disable tapping on Slackware 12.0, I've configured the xorg.conf on Ubuntu and openSUSE and disabled it. But it's not working on Slackware.

When I boot I notice these 2 lines for my touch pad:

Nov 25 11:08:01 darkstar kernel: input: ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input3

Nov 26 11:13:22 Hubbard /usr/sbin/gpm[2341]: imps2: Auto-detected intellimouse PS/2

and here's my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "SHMconfig" "on"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
EndSection

I think I may need to download the synaptics driver, but any help will be very much appreciated.

Also I'm also using Xfce but it doesn't have a battery or network monitor and when I go to add to panel it doesn't have a battery monitor or a network monitor do I just run the KDE one? if so do you know where it's located? or do I have to download a seperate one?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

And welcome to LQ!

I can't help you with the tapping, I'm afraid, but for the monitoring
stuff you could use GKRellm.



Cheers,
Tink

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Have a look at /etc/udev - specifically
the rules.


Cheers,

I haven't used Slackware in quite some time, but I know on Suse and Ubuntu, you can use gsynaptics (likely ksynaptics for KDE) to turn it off.
