I need to disable tap to click before I go insane but I have been unable to.
I am using an HP Elitebook x360 G2 laptop. It has an Alps trackpad.
I am unable to configure it using xinput because it does not seem to be controlled by Synaptic.
Things I have tried:
Disabling it in the touchpad settings menu
xinput set-prop 15 "Synaptics Tap Action" 0 0 0 0 0 2 3
synclient TouchpadOff=2
synclient TapButton1=0
modprobe -r psmouse <-- doesn't disable my trackpad
modprobe psmouse proto=imps
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
