Hello All, Is there a way that I can decrease the tap sensitivity or turn off the tap option on my touch pad? I am having this annoying problem that when I am typing my palm or some part of my hand brushes up against the touch pad and starts me typing in another part of the text that I have already typed. I thought I could live with it but I really can't :) . I tried changing my typing so my wrists are up higher but no luck. So now I would like to try turning off the tap option (if there is a way to do that) and see if I am better off without it. I am using Fedora Core 4 on a Compaq Presario R3000
Is this a Synaptics touchpad? If so, you probably have the synaptics RPM installed. It includes a program called syndaemon, which disables the touchpad while you are typing.
I haven't felt the need, but it might do the job for you.
Thanks, Lovell
