Thanks a lot. I did compile gsynpatics, but it turns out it is a front 
end of synclient, the command line tool. And I was able to disable 
tapping, as well as disabling touchpad, but once I disable touchpad the 
scrolling on edge doesn't work any more. I suspect there's some 
parameter of sensitivity I can tweak with but I don't know what.

Thanks anyway for your reply.
