Hi,
I would like to know how I turn off the touchpads two finger tap (emulates a middle click), and also how I disable the middle button from pasting stuff from the clipboard
Can't find anything.. but should be simple right?

You can check here for all the details, but in you 10-synaptics.conf shoulr be a line reading 'Option "TapButton2" "2" '. Comment it out. I can't remember at the moment if "2" or "3" does the trick, but you can figure it out.

Instead of editing the existing file, you should make your own with a higher number at the front to override. E.g. for me, the culprit file was 50-synaptics.conf with these lines:
#...
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection
#...
I made a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/55-custom.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "change two finger tap behaviour"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection
So, "3" is the "right-click contextual menu", "2" is the "middle-click" and "1" is the "left-click / single-click"
sorry for necro-bumping - I didn't look at the date

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friends.
