Touchpad under ubuntu revisited
After weeks of using a wireless usb mouse, and nearly forgetting about the existance of the touchpad with a mind of it's own, I had an opportunuty to use the laptop without the wireless mouse. I had all but forgotten the list of tweaks, and options that I had applied in trying to resolve this problem, but the last thing I tried seems to have worked.

I put the follwoing in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file under the Input Device section, in the touchpad section:

Option "TapButton0" "0"

Option "TapButton1" "0"

Option "TapButton2" "0"

I stumbled apon this tip after listening to an episode of Tht Jak Attack Podcast, where Kelly Penguin Girl found reslotion to her touchpad problem in ubuntu.

Like I said, I had almost forgotten that I had even made these changes to my xorg.conf file, until just now, when I was forced to use the touchpad for the first time in weeks. It's still a little early to tell, but it seems to work a whole lot better!
