[Xorg] disabling or desensifying touch pad tapping
kevinfish:
Hi, I followed all the instructions here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=3609.0
I have a Dell XPS m140.
Attached is my Xorg.0.log which seems to show I do not have a synaptics touch pad. I didn't know they had any competition but the settings seem to do nothing. Also the touch pad worked fine before I loaded the driver and modified my xorg.conf file.
Any clues how to disable tapping on this machine?
thanks,
-Kevin
Juanito:
could you post the relevent sections of your xorg.conf
kevinfish:
It's not very big. The whole shebang is attached.
Juanito:
Your xorg.conf looks like this:
--- Code: ---Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Alps Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
--- End code ---
whereas mine looks like this:
--- Code: ---Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Alps Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
--- End code ---
How is the Dell XPS m140 set up - is it a touchpad alone, a touchpad/pointing stick combo, or?
This section in your xorg.xonf should turn off tapping:
--- Code: ---Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Alps Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "FingerPress" "400"
Option "TouchpadOff" "2"
EndSection
--- End code ---
..but from your xorg.0.log, your touchpad is not being recognised is it an alps touchpad, a synaptics touchpad or another brand?
kevinfish:
dell is touchpad only (however if I plug in a usb mouse it works without modification).
I have no idea how to find out who manufactured the touchpad. I've done google searches on it but all the specs merely say: input devices: touchpad, keyboard.
