synaptics has a bunch of variables, but my touchpad is not being detected as synaptics. The kernel option PMS_SYNAPTICS_TOUCHPAD is enabled. It's GENERIC kernel. In turn sysctl -a does not reflect synaptics variables. Mine is detected as pckbc instead. I tried disabling pckbc, but it still did not detect it as synaptics. > Perhaps another approach is to just disable the double-click action in X > which is what you have been looking at but I think you are looking in > the wrong spot - the double click handling is more an application/window > manager function so you need to look there to prevent undesirable > effects. I use ratpoison WM. Tried switching to NetBSD's default wm but the issue is same. Had that been a wm issue, I'd have faced it in the same wm on Linux. On Linux synaptics driver is used and there is no issue. Mayuresh.
