See, this isn't very obvious to most people. It took me forever to figure
it out.
On every other OS you use the Xorg synaptics driver, but on FreeBSD there
is synaptics support built-in with the rest of the mouse driver.
man 4 psm:
Tap and drag gestures can be disabled by setting hw.psm.tap_enabled
to 0
at boot-time. Currently, this is only supported on Synaptics
touchpads
with Extended support disabled. The behaviour may be changed after
boot
by setting the sysctl with the same name and by restarting moused(8)
using /etc/rc.d/moused.
