I have this section (with the exception that I have "Emulate3Buttons" "yes")

I don't have this one but then again I don't use a USB mouse.

I currently don't have gpm installed. I wasn't aware that it was required
for tpconfig to work. I interpreted the brief directions on the web page
(http://www.compass.com/synaptics/) to mean that you must use tpconfig before
loading any mouse driver, such as gpm. Does tpconfig work ONLY with gpm?
Anyone know why? I assumed that it sent commands to the touchpad telling it
how to configure itself, and the pad would stay in that configuration until
reboot.
My touchpad works, it's just very sensitive to tap. A tad too much pressure
while moving your finger and it gets interpreted as a click. It acts the
same way if you boot into Windoze, so I assume that I just have a sensitve
touchpad. Under Windoze, I was able to go under Control Panel and change the
sensitivity. After a bit, I realized that I seldom if ever use the tap
function. I'm more comfortable with the buttons, so I turned off tap under
Windoze. I'm trying to find a way to do the same under Linux, since I spend
the majority of my time there.
A new version of tpconfig was just released. It supposedly works under X but
requires patching the kernel. There's a patch for 2.4.2 but I'm running
2.4.14 and so far haven't been able to get it to work.
