How to disable the touchpad?
Also, i think some extra packages are required in ubuntu 7.10, for
the touch pad to work properly.
what type of packages? I have installed everything shown by update manager.
Found that I didn face this problem until i run on AC Power. Once i switch to
battery mode i am facing this problem. Is there any other work around?
Assuming Synaptics Touchpad
Look up xorg.conf file >> Input Device Section for Synaptics.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "1"
Option "SHMConfig"
EndSection
Normally, the SHMConfig line would be missing, Introduce it and restart
X11. Using the Synaptic frontend, install gsynaptics or qsynaptics pkg
for a graphical frontend to configure the pad/buttons.
To just turn off the pad, give synclient off at bash prompt.
Works on my Dell with Gutsy.
