Subject: [Bug 638025] Re: Cannot disable 'tap to touch' on touchpad Dell 
Inspiron 1545

I have the same laptop model (Inspiron 1545), which I bought from Dell
with Ubuntu 9.10 pre-installed. Everything worked until the touchpad
broke in late November 2010. However, my symptoms are slightly
different: I can't use the right touchpad button but can move the
cursor. Tapping is extremely sensitive and can't be disabled. See my bug
report:

  No control over touchpad on Dell inspiron 15R makes Ubuntu

  This bug renders Ubuntu UNUSEABLE with the Dell Inspiron 15R (standard laptop 
from Dell) and also laptops which don't use the 'synaptic' touchpad driver (see 
forum post).
