Sorry for the cross post but I did not get a response back from the
newbie's list. I have a PowerBook G4 loaded with YDL 3.0.1. I am
having a problem with the trackpad. It is responding to my tap as a
right-click. I have the option for trackpad to notap. Right now,
the right-click is happening in KDE. I don't know if it is also
doing when in text mode. Is there some way to turn of the tap in
KDE? I really need to have this turned off in KDE. It has already
changed my desktop in a way that I don't like and cannot find a way
to undo it. Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Yong

Yong,
I shut off the trackpad click-functionality by running trackpad notap
as root. Do this next time you boot into the command line. To
disable this "permanently," add the following line to:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/usr/bin/trackpad notap
Also, to stop trackpad tap from starting every time you wake from
sleep, make a copy of /etc/power/pwrctl called pwrctl-local , and
under:
wakeup) add the lines:
trackpad notap
;;
make sure you add the ;; under trackpad notap, or your system will
behave VERY strangely after waking up.
Good luck!
Norberto
