[SOLVED] Disable tap-to-click

Hi.  Touchpad tap-to-click is making me f#!k!n6 hostile.  I tried following this tutorial

http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … aptoclick/

but I don't seem to have the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

The closest thing I can find is the file /usr/share/doc/hal/examples/10-x11-input.fdi, but this doesn't have a line corresponding to the info.product key that is identified in step 1 of the tutorial. 

Here is my 10-x11-input.fdi file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>

    <!-- KVM emulates a USB graphics tablet which works in absolute coordinate mode -->
    <match key="input.product" contains="QEMU USB Tablet">
       <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
    </match>

    <!-- FIXME: Support tablets too. -->
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.tablet">
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
           keyboard otherwise). -->
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Can someone help me out with this?

Re: [SOLVED] Disable tap-to-click

If you tried only the HAL-related solutions, try the following in a Terminal. If you also tried this synclient solution, apologies for restating it.

synclient TapButton1=0

You can add this to startup, or rather edit the existing file, at ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh  Around line 40 is a section that has some synclient items.

Holy crap!  I can't believe how easy that was.  I can't thank you enough.  I can already feel my blood pressure dropping.

Have a nice day.
