Ubuntu touchpad annoyance
After more than six months of dealing with the Synaptics touchpad driver interpreting my hand brushing against the pad as a “click”, I found a small change to xorg.conf which will take away the sting of using a touchpad with Ubuntu/Kubuntu.
Simply add the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the InputDevice clause for the touchpad, and restart X:
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
Just had to share that, it took me so long to get up the resolve to actually look for a solution …
