Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse

The touchpad works but is too sensitive, so I want to disable the "tap
to click" feature.  However, it doesn't seem to be detected by the
system, because under Systems->Preferences there is nothing for the
touchpad, nor is there a tab or options for it under
System->Preferences->Mouse.

I tried adding these lines to xorg.conf, based on what I found online,
to disable the "tap to click."  But it had no effect:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
EndSection 


The machine is Dell Latitude E6510.

Ubuntu version is buntu 10.04.1 LTS
