[SOLVED] Do you use the touch pad tapping feature?

[A. J. Rimmer]

touch tapping is one of the handiest things ever. maybe i'm lucky that my touchpad is less sensitive or something but i've always found it useful. plus when you tell xorg to emulate a 3 button mouse,you can get middle clicks (tap at two points) and right clicks too.

Sounds as if you might be able to help "thegodfaza" with his touchpad configuration problem. Thanx.

Absolutely hate it, first thing I did after installing Ubuntu, or any OS for that matter, was disabling it

I love it! I never seem to touch it with my palms and you only need to press it only softly to make it click. I rarly click when I don't want to. I think I'd rather do that instead of clicking the buttons which means I have to lift my finger and click a noisy button. Much slower..

Super convenient. I actually feel crippled when the configuration goes out the window. I've got a middle click in the upper-right corner and the scroll strip on the right edge which is, hands down, the most convenient thing of all. I -never- use the actual scrollbars on windows.

I just wish I could configure it more thoroughly like I could with the Synaptics manager in Windows.

I hate touchpads. You know what I miss from laptops are trackballs. None of these stupid touchpad or eraserheads. BACK THEN MICE WERE MICE AND MEN WERE MEN!

Nope, I hate it. I would always accidentally tap when I don't mean to tap.
I still need to get a USB mouse for my lappy...me too poor

You're sure? Mice are often dirt cheap these days.

its absolutely annoying

[Exershio]

I use the touch pad tapping feature whenever I'm on someone else's laptop without a mouse, other than that, I try not to.

off-topic:Why are you spamming thank-yous to every single person in this thread? It's rather quite annoying.
