Ubuntu uses commands to disable input devices such as touchpad.

I use the Ubuntu10.04 system with a mouse and touchpad on my laptop. By default, the touchpad is enabled. when typing, you may encounter touchpad from time to time, which causes a lot of trouble. Therefore, you must disable the touchpad, currently, no related GUI tools are available for disabling UBUNTU. Find a method and use the xinput command: terminal: xinputlist to list all input devices www.linuxidc.com @ linuxidc:/etc/

Sometimes, you may encounter touchpad from time to time during typing, which causes a lot of trouble. Therefore, you must disable the touchpad, which is limited to the currently used UBUNTU

There is no relevant GUI tool to disable it. Find a method and run the xinput command:

Terminal:

Xinput list lists all input devices.

1. Www.linuxidc.com @ linuxidc:/etc/X11/xinit/xinput. d $ xinput list
2. ⎡ Virtual core pointerId=2[Master pointer (3)]
3. Zookeeper Virtual core XTEST pointerId=4[Slave pointer (2)]
4. Zookeeper Logitech USB Optical MouseId=9[Slave pointer (2)]
5. Zookeeper SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPadId=11[Slave pointer (2)]
6. ⎣ Virtual core keyboardId=3[Master keyboard (2)]
7. Using Virtual core XTEST keyboardId=5[Slave keyboard (3)]
8. ↳ Power ButtonId=6[Slave keyboard (3)]
9. ↳ Video BusId=7[Slave keyboard (3)]
10. ↳ Power ButtonId=8[Slave keyboard (3)]
11. Found AT Translated Set 2 keyboardId=10[Slave keyboard (3)]

Id of the output touch input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad = 11

You can use the following command. 0 indicates disabled, 1 indicates enabled.

Www.linuxidc.com @ linuxidc:~ $ Xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0

Status:

1. Www.linuxidc.com @ linuxidc :~ $ Xinput list-props 11

After logging out or restarting the system, the disabled device is enabled again. There is another method for synaptics touchpad, but the effect is similar, as follows: install gsynaptics,: sudo apt-get install gsynapticsgsynaptics

In the displayed dialog box, deselect the Enable touchpad option.

In this way, the touchpad can be disabled, but like the xinput command used previously, when the system is logged out or restarted, the touchpad is turned on again, which is a little troublesome.

However, you can add a system startup item to the startup application.

Google has some methods on the Internet, and after practice, it is quite troublesome. And for different systems

There are still some differences.

We can see that touchpad-indicator can easily solve the problem, but I searched for it and did not find the software.
