Hello and thank you for this code on disabling the tapping click on the touchpad. It was also to sensitive on my ibook g4. Also, thanks for the hard work you put into this project. Really enjoying mintppc 9. I'm no programmer and have a hard time moving around the command line, but enjoy the struggle. Thanks again.

correct Joe. I don't really see it as a bug, but a feature request. I like the tapping click on the touchpad. The good news is that I have a solution for that:

In /etc/init.d I created a file called trackpad-notap (as root of course):

Code:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/trackpad-notap

I pasted the following lines into it:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
trackpad notap

To make it executable you do:

Code:

sudo chmod +x trackpad-notap

Then add it to the run time scripts:

Code:

sudo update-rc.d trackpad-notap defaults

here's a small quibble. this is a problem i had when i installed debian, too, so it's related. i did not have this problem with lubuntu, which is why i mention it. in any case, color quality is decreased unless booting with "video=ofonly." more info on my system here. i believe all three builds were using the nouveau driver, although i'm running pretty bleeding edge on the lubuntu, so maybe it has to do with version. would be happy to provide more info as needed.

wxl: I would use the nv driver instead of nouveau in Squeeze.
