Reply To: Touchpad unuseably sensitive following upgrade

[Brian MasinickModerator]

I think we’ve covered this elsewhere before: for some people who also have a USB or PS2 mouse, you can disable the synaptics touchpad entirely:

more Touchpad.bash
#!/bin/bash
#
# Touchpad.bash
# Syntax: ./Touchpad.bash [0,1]

# Disable the touchpad: $ synclient TouchpadOff=1
# Enable the touchpad: $ synclient TouchpadOff=0
Turn=${1}
synclient TouchpadOff=${Turn}

./Touchpad.bash 1 # Disable Touchpad
./Touchpad.bash 0 # Enable Touchpad

Also, at the risk of repetition, some references:
