I'm running Debian Etch on a laptop which has a touchpad where the right-hand edge does that "scroll-wheel" thingy.

I'd like to turn it off, but don't know how. Any suggestions?
I think the scroll-wheel is sent as buttons 4 and 5. Try Buttons 3 in its xorg.conf section. You might be able to do something with xmodmap to stop it, but I'm not sure how. xmodmap -pp to see if it knows them.
To the other poster, to turn the whole pad off, try pointing X at /dev/input/mouseN instead of /dev/input/mice
I've not tested either of the above - please post if they work.
Hope that helps,
