Hi,
I am running arch linux on my laptop which has a touchpad and it works great but unfortunately the click function which can be done with the button or by tapping the touchpad is a little sensitive, this is more of an irritation, accidentally selecting other windows etc.. Can someone tell me how to turn it off please? I have already checked the KDE control center with no joy.
Thanks,

There's this wiki entry I've stumbled across today, which features a description on touchpad settings:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Del … s_Touchpad
For KDE users, it's ksynaptics instead of gsynaptcis, but otherwise this should work. Can't check right now, since I'm stuck with the Windows machine at work. Anyway, toy around a little with the synaptics package, I'm sure you'll do fine

ksynaptics isn't in the repos, so I will have a look on google, but thanks for the link, should have checked the wiki d.oh!

Oh, I wasn't aware of this. Switched to Arch from Gentoo just yesterday, so I've still got a lot to work on in regards to repos and what have you

It's in the AUR.

gsynaptics also works with kde, but you have to start it manual with "gynaptics" because its now shown in the menu after install.
Remember to set "SHMConfig" "True" in the input device section of your xorg.conf to use it - Have Fun!

the easiesy way to do it is to add
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
in the 'Section "InputDevice"' where the touchpad settings is defined in your xorg.conf. [keyword: synaptics]

To save time, reboot your computer in the background using "reboot &"

Is it a Thinkpad?
My touchpad 'device' section looks like this:
...
Option "SHMConfig" "On"
Option "FingerHigh" "50"
...
The FingerHigh setting dictates the 'tap' sensitivity. Lower is less sensitive.
