Hi all,

I just got a Compaq V6133CL notebook computer. It's got its good and bad points, but I needed it fast and Costco will refund my money if it doesn't work with Linux (it appears to, although shakily).

Anyway, this particular notebook computer was designed by a dummy who located the pad type mouse to the right of the center of the keyboard, such that in normal touch typing my right hand contacts the pad, moves the mouse, and often does a click via "tapping".

I'd like to configure this mouse such that:

1) "Tapping" is disabled. It's just not worth it.

Hello Steve,

It looks like there's an option for the Synaptics Touchpad in xorg.conf that turns off tap-to-click, called MaxTapTime:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
EndSection

I saw this here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76585

I didn't see anything specific to sensitivity though. If you find it, I'd be interested.
