Laptop Annoyances
I’m soooooo happy. I finally solved the "clickable trackpad" issue. It seems I just had to change a setting in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. To the section for my Synaptics Touchpad, I added:
Option "TouchpadOff" "2"
so that the full section looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "TouchpadOff" "2"
EndSection
That "feature" is surely the worst feature ever added to a laptop, and you have no idea how glad I am to be rid of it. Via
