Hello. I'm having a hell of a time configuring my Synaptics Touchpad. Basically, I'd like to disable the annoying "tapping" feature; with tapping, they mean, that the user shortly "hits" (taps) the touchpad and this is then interpreted as a click. This annoys the hell out of me, as I accidently tap the touchpad when I type something and as a result, I continue to type at the wrong location. Anyway, enough of the whining - I'd like to disable tapping...
On various places on the internet, like http://linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112 or http://copland.udel.edu/~doke/dell_d810/, I found, that it should be good enough, to add Option "MaxTapTime" "0" to the Section "InputDevice" in the xorg.conf file. As you can see in my xorg.conf file at <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/453131>, I did that. Nonetheless, I'm sadly still able to use that annoying tapping feature :( As this did not work, I tried to use graphical configuration tools like gsynaptics, ksynaptics or synclient to access the touchpad. All of these tools require, that Option "SHMConfig" "on" is added to the xorg.conf. Instead of "on", I also tried "true", "1" and "yes". None of these work - all the time, when I run one of the aforementioned tools, I get an error message, stating something reg. SHMConfig. For synclient, it is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ synclient -m 20 Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
