<p>Hrmmm, shame this is just synaptics... my netbook has a VERY sensitive touchpad that's very annoying but it's not a synaptics one :( it has got a Fn button to disable it but it's not all that useful unless I'm planning on writing a large block of text, which I normally use my PC for.</p>
<p>I did find a guide for doing this on a site for setting up the MSI Wind U100 with Linux that used mouseemu but it didn't work for me :( <br>
Not too big of a problem, just thought someone may appreciate another option.</p>

For example for Fedora 11 in the mouse properties dialogue in GNOME,<br>
there is a new tab for configuring your touchpad.<br>

On a slightly related note, if people saw the HUGE C_A_BS Xserver<br>
zapping threads. The right solution was eventually found.<br>

Personally I'm a big fan of C_A_BS (although not used so much now we<br>
don't need xorg.conf) and don't recall ever hitting it by _mistake_.<br>
