Permanently? Remove synaptics from the INPUT_DEVICES your make.config.

| Generally you can disable it in the BIOS as well. |

z3r0phr34k ...
You might want to 'toggle' it rather than disable it completely. If it is a synaptics trackpad x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics comes with 'synclient' ... I use the following 'toggle_trackpad' script:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
if [ $(synclient -l | awk '/TouchpadOff/{print $3}') = "0" ] ; then
synclient TouchpadOff=1
else
synclient TouchpadOff=0
