[SOLVED]Tapping Me Crazy

I have a laptop that reenables tapping every time I logout. Using gsynaptics fixes it, but I am getting tired of it every time I boot. How should I stop it?

Re: [SOLVED]Tapping Me Crazy

What magic gsynaptics performs? The settings have to be stored somewhere, maybe you can script this behavior.

Edit: Can you set the desired behavior in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf ?

Re: [SOLVED]Tapping Me Crazy

I would if I knew the variable. I tried something and x crashed, restored it and we're back:

Current 10-synaptics.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
          Option "TapButton1" "1"
          Option "TapButton2" "2"
          Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

Can anyone provide insight beyond the wiki about what to do.

SOLUTION: Change Tapbutton1 to 0 fixed the tapping, I still don't know what gsynaptics was doing

Re: [SOLVED]Tapping Me Crazy

Ummm, it's in the manual:

TapButton1 (Integer)
    Which mouse button is reported on a non-corner one-finger tap. Set to 0 to disable. 

Glad you got it working.
