Re: Tap-to click comes back after waking from sleep

That's not working for me. I put an executable script there with this in it:

#!/bin/sh
tpconfig --tapmode=0 > /tmp/tp.out 2>&1

And after a sleep and a wake, here's the contents of /tmp/tp.out:

fatal:
No Synaptics or ALPS touchpad device found

which I know is false, since that's the exact same tpconfig command used to turn tapmode off at boot time. I'm thinking that the fact I have X running (KDE 3.1, specifically) is interfering with tpconfig.

If I run 'tpconfig --tapmode=0' at a command-line, it says "Timed out waiting to read from decide (is pc_keyb.c kernel patch installed?)", again probably because X Windows already has control of the trackpad.

Is there any way around this?
