Thanks for the tip Shawn. This is my first foray into my X config so there's a lot of stuff in there that I don't understand.
I've managed to get to the point where if I boot with the USB mouse plugged in, then both the mouse and the touchpad work complete with the annoying tapping (just as before). If I boot without the USB mouse plugged in, the the touchpad works without tapping! Yay! It's still a little weird because even when there's no USB mouse plugged in and I am running completely off the touchpad, none of KDE's Touchpad controls work in the Control Centre but the mouse options do. This means I can control the acceleration and precision and such, but I have no access to the 'finer' controls of the touchpad like scrolling and the like. Right now I really don't care though - as long as the stupid tapping is gone I'm happy. At the end of the day, the only thing I ended up doing was changing one of the two lines from my XF86Config-4 file that you quoted below. Now instead of them both reading CorePointer, they read: InputDevice "USB Mouse" "AlwaysCore" InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "CorePointer" I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the difference and perhaps there's more tweaking I can do, but stumbled across the AlwaysCore thing somewhere in my travels trying to sort this out. So..pretty happy. I'd like to have full touchpad support, but I can at least live with this. Anyone want to comment on other ways I might get full functionality out of this thing? Thanks!
