Laptop Annoyances

6 May 2006 | 0

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
