Hey,
I had the same problem on a "Dell Inspiron 17R N7110".
My touchpad was identified as a mouse "ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" and tap-to-click was driving me nuts I didn't realize that it was treating my touchpad as a mouse until today (i've had the laptop for about a year) i just thought the driver "wasn't perfect".
I was looking for a better driver to be able to use advanced touchpad features like two-finger scrolling, pinch zooming and twist rotate.
The solution i'm attaching is the driver i found here: http://
After installing this i got a "touchpad" tab in the "Mouse and Touchpad" settings panel and i could enable "two-finger scrolling".
Unfortunatly there was no pinch zooming option or twist rotate option but at least it fixed the annoying accidental tap-to-clicks and i've got two-finger scrolling enabled!
