Greetings,
I have just installed "Sarge" on my Toshiba notebook A15-S157. I believe this notebook has a ALPS Glidepad. I would like to disable touch pad "clicking". From what I can tell, this can do this by using tpconfig. I have installed this package tpconfig (3.1.3-5) from debian.
I can not seem to get this working. When I run dpkg-reconfigure tpconfig and set the options = --tapmode=0 and restart my system tapping in still working.
I have also tried running the below script as a replacement to the tpconfig script and get the "Command found and failed" at start up. I do not understand why this script is even needed. Why does dpkg-reconfigure tpconfig not work? If the script is needed what am I doing wrong? I need some help on this. Peter
