Flaky touchpad behavior in FC3

[Matthew Cole <m051284 usna edu>]

All,

I'm having really touchy behavior with the touchpad on my Presario 900
notebook. It works, but changing finger pressure in the slightest is
interpreted as a mouse click, which wreaks havoc in Evolution, Firefox
and so forth.

In Windows XP, I used to be able to completely disable the tap=mouse
button "feature", and I'm wondering if I can do the same in Fedora.

For what it's worth, I'm a veteran in Solaris, and I've used Red Hat
products before (before the Enterprise Linux/Fedora split) but fairly
new to the modern Fedora distributions. So if the solution is asking me
to edit profiles and environment variables, that isn't a problem.

Regards,
Matthew Cole
