Disable or Enable Touchpad in Kubuntu 7.10

Posted on April 21, 2008 by kurniawano

Install “ksynaptics” using Adept or apt-get.

and then add

Option “SHMConfig” “on”

in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This is the section to add:


Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
Driver “synaptics”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “true”
Option “Device” “/dev/psaux”
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “HorizEdgeScroll” “0″
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
EndSection

Restart your system and you will see Synaptics icon in your taskbar. Right click, and then uncheck “Enable Touchpad”.

That’s all :)
