I've been trying to get a USB touchpad to work on my desktop but I believe its being recognised as a mouse.
In mouse preferences I'm only seeing a "Mouse" tab where I know a "Touchpad" tab should be.
Because of this I'm stuck with the most irritating tap-to-click and no way to turn it off.
The touch pad is a Perixx Peripad-504.
I had tried using it in the Cinnamon environment but that seemed hopeless, I couldn't click. So I switched to mate and it works, but as I said I have no settings tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
