Disable touchpad tap to click?

I have to use the "hidden" (ii's not exactly hidden, but part of touchpad) hw button, that makes loud "click" noise, which drives me crazy at night and also, I'm used to tap, so I end up tapping multiple times, then remembering it's not working...

See man synaptics and edit your xorg.conf files after backing them up.  Try xset q and see what you get.  I don't see any synaptics stuff in there though.  Some of this stuff is optional, not everybody will have it installed.  I can remember installing synaptics years ago so I could turn off tap to click.  You should have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed but be aware that it has about 40 options in your xorg conf sections.

Another thing to do is look in your /var/og/Xorg.0.log file after you make changes and restart X to see if they took effect.  I see

There's no mention of Synaptic in there at all, that driver's not getting loaded apparently.  It's using libinput which is much more general purpose.  This file gets created every time X starts up, and the old one gets renamed to Xorg.0.log.old
