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
