how to turn of double-click function of hp nx6110 notebook

ungua · 08-17-2006, 12:16 PM

i am constantly annoyed on my mousepad reacting sensible to my fingers movements. i have ungraceful fingers like cooked sausages and am not patient enough to tolerate my writing being interrupted several times per hour. i have been looking for an option to turn of the double-click function, but didn't find it. anyone else?

grateful, with regards

First backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

Now change the "MaxTapTime" to 0 (numeral zero) if you want to turn off tap-to-click. Restart your Xserver - Ctrl - alt - Backspace

But this will stop single click also.

perfect, thank you! single click makes no sense for me either, since there are buttons below the touchpad. i will still be able to use the cursor, right? restarting xserver happens by just pressing the keys you mentioned or do i have to be in a certain program?
