I have an issue with the tap to click functionality of the touchpad on my iBook. When typing my hand sometimes grazes the trackpad, I don't mind if it moves the mouse but the problem is that sometimes it clicks and it will click icons and open programs or select another box and interfere with typing, its gotten to be quite an annoyance.
Does anyone know of a way to disable that functionality in fedora?
Also does anyone know how to disable the pad in general if I have a usb mouse detected?
Thanks

try pbbuttons.sf.net
install the rpm or build for youself, then input the following command:
trackpad notap

It worked great! And now I can even use the eject button, the volume buttons, and brightness adjuster, sleep. . . any word if this be packaged with FC4 if it is to support PPC out of the box? That would be huge.
