I have to disable tapping on every machine I use, but I have never found any GUI
to set all the options that the driver allows. The command ‘synclient -l’ will
show you the current settings. Using ‘man synaptics’ will show you the list of
options. Use ‘man synclient’ to show how to change the settings.
The above changes will not last through a reboot. The way I do it is to modify
/etc/X11/xorg.d/50-synaptics.conf. In my case, I add ‘Option “TouchpadOff” “2”’
to the section where the TapButton options are listed. That disables tapping.
With KDE, you can run “synaptiks”, which gives considerable control. I just use it to disable the touchpad if there is a USB mouse.
I’m not sure about other desktops. With Gnome, I think I can use the laptop function keys to disable the touchpad.
In KDE environment:
System settings -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Touchpad
