Edd Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Mendriva is using the synaptics touch pad driver for my mouse, it works great but there is a feature where you can click by tapping the touch pad. How do I disable this feature? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) I fixed it! If anyone else has the same issue you can do the following: Log in as root type "synclient -l" to list all settings off the touch pad then type "synclient MaxTapTime=0" to turn it off. Sorted ;) Edited June 24, 2005 by Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Ok. even though my above thing did work, Mandrake does not remember my settings when it reboots. Sam goes for my wireless connection. I have to keep on doing everything again. Is there a way I can tell Linux to run these commands on boot? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 For the synaptics touchpad, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. That's the config file and I assume what your doing is only resetting for that session and not making a permanent edit to xorg.conf. Look for a line that corresponds to your command and see if it's set to 0. If not edit the file accordingly. Be more specific with your ndiswrapper problem. Can't tell whether your losing your wlan configuration on reboot or that the ndiswrapper module is not loading at boot and you have to manually modprobe it.

Havin_it Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hi again Edd, as pmpatrick says, the xorg.conf file (you may find this is a link to the file XF86Config in the same directory, but that's normal!) holds the settings for the touchpad, so you can make permanent changes by editing this file as root. If you find this doesn't solve the problem (some values returned by synclient -l do not match the settings in xorg.conf), you can add some correction commands to a startup script and place it in KDE's Autostart folder (obviously it needs to run *after* X starts). Read this: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=25134 wherein I concocted a script to auto-correct any incorrect entries (you'll find it down the bottom). Just copy it into KWrite or whatever, save it in /home/yourName/.kde/Autostart and make it executable (chmod +x thefilename). I'll answer your wireless question in the thread you started on that subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
