I have redhat 6.2 installed on a Dell Inspiron 3500 with a synaptics touchpad. It works fine but one of the irritating things that I have never gotten used to is the touch to click feature. I disable this in windows because I seem to have errant thumbs when typing and lightly brushing the touch pad will move the curser to wherever the mouse is pointing resulting in all kinds of unexpected results. Unexpected results are not something that I like, so in Windows I disable this "feature" but am unsure how to do this in Linux. The laptop howto's I have perused all seem out of date but have to admit I have NOT gone through every one of the links on the Linux for Laptops page. I found a driver on the synaptics site written by someone that looks like it will do what I want but before I go after it and install it I wanted to find out if there might already be a way to do this. The author writes of the difficulty of "sharing the ps2 port with anything so it has to be done in startup scripts. Not a problem but I just thought I would ask the list if they have had any experience with these devices. Thanks for any insights.
