I'm forwarding this to devel at lists.laptop.org because some people
familiar with the OLPC hardware and software might not be in
sugar-devel.

in that case you're in somewhat uncharted territory.  the
tap_time parameter mentioned in in the link you gave below is
documented to only work with absolute touchpads, so i doubt it
applies.

there may be some special synaptics support you can try (bobby
mentioned gsynaptics, for instance, which i've never used).
please let us know what you discover.
