Need help on Elantech Touchpad setup

I have an Asus u50 laptop with the elantech touchpad. The features I know of are working fine, the problem is it's too sensitive. I want to disable tapping.

I've read around a bit through Arch's wiki, debian's wiki, and random results around google, but nothing worked so far.

I'm using arch x86_64, kernel 2.6.32-ARCH.
xf86-input-synaptics installed
xf86-input-evdev installed
using hal with autodetect

zcat /proc/config/gz | grep ELANTECH

returns

CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y

===================

synclient -l

returns empty

===================

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

has

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
        <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
    </match> 
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapMove" type="string">0</merge>
        <!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using
             the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->
        <!-- EXAMPLES:
        Switch on shared memory, enables the driver to be configured at runtime
    <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>

    Maximum movement of the finger for detecting a tap
    

    Enable vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge
    <merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>

    Enable vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad
    <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>

    Enable horizontal scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad
    <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>

    If on, circular scrolling is used
    <merge key="input.x11_options.CircularScrolling" type="string">true</merge>

    For other possible options, check CONFIGURATION DETAILS in synaptics man page
        -->
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Need help on Elantech Touchpad setup

I got mine working correctly by putting this in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:

options psmouse proto=imps

and rebooting.
I mentioned this in another thread, didn't work for the OP, so ymmv smile

Edit: make sure you have psmouse module loaded - if not add it to your modules array in /etc/rc.conf first
Edit 2: Sorry, didn't read your post properly roll, please disregard
