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.
Here is what happened when I tried to run syndaemon:
[user@Blade ~]$ sudo syndaemon -t -d
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
I tried to find SHMConfig but didn't see a man page for it or couldn't
locate it anywhere. Can you tell me what I might be missing? I also
didn't see the syndaemon in the services list via the gui if that helps.
Thanks,
Lovell
