There are few things I hate on any machine more than "tap to click". I have found on another, older porteus forum post that someone was able to disable this by:
synclient TapButton1=0
but then how to make that change persistent through reboots? Someone suggested adding that command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
I did this, and yet tapping still clicks.
is rc.d / rc.local still used on boot?
How else can this be done?

Re: Touchpad troubles
hmmm...isn't root copying what makes the file system live?
A goal of my system is to have everything copy into ram, and run from ram, only syncing back to the usb drive when necessary
I should also point out that I'm just starting out with Porteus and when it boots, it boots with the top most "graphical" option.

Re: Touchpad troubles
I meant that I save stuff to usb that warrants being saved across reboots. IE: the virtual box module and my VMs are saved across reboots automatically.Bogomips wrote:No. See http://www.porteus.org/info/tips-and-tricks.htmlvolumetricsteve wrote:hmmm...isn't root copying what makes the file system live?
oh, I need to wrap my head around that.
