Synaptics, disable tap/mouse click

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.)

Re: Synaptics, disable tap/mouse click

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:

[c]synclient[/c]
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:

[c]synclient TapButton1=0[/c]
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:

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

Re: Synaptics, disable tap/mouse click

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.
