More recently I have had to start using Linux because FreeBSD doesn't have very good laptop support. (All I ask for is a way to configure the mouse pad so that I can switch off "tap to click.")

See, this isn't very obvious to most people. It took me forever to figure it out.

On every other OS you use the Xorg synaptics driver, but on FreeBSD there is synaptics support built-in with the rest of the mouse driver.

man 4 psm:

Tap and drag gestures can be disabled by setting hw.psm.tap_enabled to 0 at boot-time. Currently, this is only supported on Synaptics touchpads with Extended support disabled. The behaviour may be changed after boot
     by setting the sysctl with the same name and by restarting moused(8)
     using /etc/rc.d/moused.
