[SOLVED] alps touchpad, disabling touchpad clicks

[pwatk]

Okay, now I have a new issue. I was wondering if there is a way to save the value change for MaxTapTime so I don't have to keep entering it in the terminal every reboot. Every time I reboot, the touchpad clicks are enabled again, and I have to repeat the process of accessing the terminal and typing "synclient MaxTapTime=0." If there is a solution, can someone please provide the steps that I must go through in the terminal? I am essentially looking for a permanent fix.

Alternatively you can make this global by adding it to your /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>

      <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">0</merge>

    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Or as an option under the InputDevice section for your touchpad in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Touchpad"
  Driver  "synaptics"
  Option  "Device"   "/dev/input/mouse0"

  Option  "MaxTapTime"   "0"

EndSection
