   Hello!

   My touchpad tap has a very high sensibility and is too easy to do a mouse click accidentaly while browsing. Anyone knows how to disable that touchpad tap does a mouse click? Or at least to change its sensibility?

   Looking into:

   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/35-synaptics.conf

   I tried commenting out these three lines putting a # before:

   #Option "TapButton1" "1"
   #Option "TapButton2" "2"
   #Option "TapButton3" "3"

   Putting them to "off":

   Option "TapButton1" "off"
   Option "TapButton2" "off"
   Option "TapButton3" "off"

   Putting them to 0:

   Option "TapButton1" "0"
   Option "TapButton2" "0"
   Option "TapButton3" "0"

   And removing them.

   Any of them worked.

   Any solutions?

   Thank you!

   Does this work,

   Menu > Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse => adjust Sensitivity

   (It does nothing on my desktop.)

   Hi sh4,

   This work for my touchpad on Acer Aspire one netbook.
   Source of info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

   Open Sakura terminal and command:
   

   synclient

   If error occured (file synclient missing) install xorg-xf86-input-synaptics package.

   To disable "one finger fast tap" to be interpreted as "left mouse button click" command:
   

   synclient TapButton1=0

   Now only touchpad's left hardware button works for me.

   If you want to automate it on boot, you have several options. One of them: add command above to your ".xsession" file you found in your home folder (it is a hidden file) before last line. Something like this:
   

   # ~/.xsession: Start X window session manually on your system (startx).
   #
   . $HOME/.config/slitaz/applications.conf
   Xorg &
   #xterm &
   #xpad &
   synclient TapButton1=0
   exec $WINDOW_MANAGER

   Hi!

   I finally found a solution. I am using a logitech k400 keyboard with touchpad. So the problem I had was that it wasn't recognized as a separate touchpad, only keyboard.

   Here's the keyboard:

   The two-finger scrolling, zoom function, etc, were working correctly, but I couldn't find a solution to disable the TapClick.

   $ synclient
   Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

   synclient does not recognize it.

   I finally managed to disable the tapclick with and integrated function:

   Press simultaneously FN function button and left touchpad click:

   So I give it 5 starts to work along SliTaz if anyone is interested in buying one!

   Thanks to anyone who tried to help.

   Regards,

   David.
