I use the program "trackpad" which is distributed with pmud (or with its
source). You can switch off the clicks by calling "trackpad notap". To
deactivate the clicks already at boottime, I use the following init script:
#! /bin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/trackpad.sh
#
# Trackpad init script ...
#
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DESC="Trackpad"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC:"
/sbin/trackpad notap &> /dev/null
echo " done"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stoping $DESC:"
/sbin/trackpad/ tap &> /dev/null
echo " done"
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: %N {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
I've found this trick on
http://www.pl-forum.de/t_system/ibook-debian/part3.html. There you may also
find other hints to tune your iBook. But: the page is written in German.
Hope that helps,
Reto
