Disable touchpad tap to click?

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Basically, you tell the graphical interface to ignore the events from the touchpad;  you can put that into a script.

Note: I will post the script after testing; basically the script uses 'xinput' to find the id of the HAILUCK slave pointer; on my system it is id=8. Then, xinput is used to disable it:

sudo xinput list

sudo xinput --disable 8 <==== your id may be different for HAILUCK slave pointer

To turn it back on, use:

sudo xinput --enable 8

sudo xinput list-props 8 |less

My script does all of this interactively from a terminal ; toggling the resource ON if its OFF , and OFF if its ON; you can also automate that further if you like; I find that temporarily disabling the touchpad completely is helpful when typing, and when programming.

Again; I had to tweak the script when porting to the pinebook from the synaptics T61; when I'm finished testing I will post the script here so that others may have the benefit too.
