SUCCESS! Thanks to all who helped.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (automatically configured) did not have synaptics,
only mouse, and no "Server Layout" section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
EndSection
(so I added)
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
# Option "TouchpadOff" "2" (this did not work)
# Option "TapButton1" "0" (this did work)
Option "MaxTapTime" "0" #(this also works)
EndSection
(and at bottom)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Touchpad"
EndSection
If I were using Gnome, I would install gsynaptics and get System >
Preferences > Touchpad for configuration.
Of course, I'm using XFCE, so if I want to be able to configure the
touchpad's Acceleration and Threshold (via Settings > Mouse), I need to
install gsynaptics-mcs-plugin, which is not a package..
I installed it from source (1.0.0 version):
http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/goodies-dev/2007-January/000423.html
It required some packages:
libgtk2.0-dev
xfce4-mcs-manager-dev
libxfce4mcs-dev
Now my touchpad does not click/select anything.
Thanks again,
Ross

Because you wrote that the option changed nothing, I assume you have
an USB
trackpad. Unfortunately I have no idea how to configure this thing.
If it's the case and he uses synaptics, I would advise either :
TouchpadOff 2
or
TapButton1 0
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the synaptics section. man synaptics for more
details.
