I know your xorg.conf doesn't do what you want, but do changes to the
Synaptics InputDevice section have any affect at all? I suspect your
settings tell X to use the plain mouse driver and to receive extra
events from the synaptics touchpad. If I'm correct, then the plain mouse
driver is still processing your touch clicking even when after you
disable it in the synaptics driver.
I suggest you comment out all of the lines you pasted and add all of the
following lines:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "touchpad"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
#
# Following lines are optional thus commented in this example.
# Please read the synaptics(5) manpage for a detailed explanation
# of the various options' meaning as well as a full list of options
#
# Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
# Option "RightEdge" "5300"
# Option "TopEdge" "1700"
# Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
# Option "FingerLow" "25"
# Option "FingerHigh" "30"
# Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
# Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
# Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
# Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
# Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
# Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
# Option "SHMConfig" "on"
# Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection
If you don't have a server layout section, add the following option
within the above section,
Option "CorePointer"
save the file and restart X.
Otherwise, if you have a ServerLayout section, comment out the following
two lines in that section,
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
add the following line,
InputDevice "touchpad" "CorePointer"
save the file and restart X.
If either way works at all, you should be using just the Synaptics
driver; now any changes to the touchpad input device section will affect
how your touchpad works.
Note: I didn't test the above changes (I don't have the hardware) and I
stole them from the following file on Debian Lenny which also
describes how to add an external mouse:
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/README.Debian.gz
I'd love to hear how it works out,
