|
|
With Code: | xinput set-prop 14 'Device Enabled' 0 | is the complete device at my Lenovo ThinkPad disabled.
I'd like to disable just the (unwanted) mouse cursor movement, but not the , "left/middle/right" button.

toralf ... have you looked at the output of 'synclient -l'? It's probably simply a matter of doing the following:
Code: | % synclient TouchpadOff=1 |
... I wrote the following 'toggle_trackpad' script ... perhaps you find useful.
Code: | #!/bin/sh
if [ $(synclient -l | awk '/TouchpadOff/{print $3}') == "0" ] ; then
synclient TouchpadOff=1
else
synclient TouchpadOff=0
fi |
best ... khay |

Btw if you want to get rid of the abomination it should be possible to swap the 'clickpad' with the proper UltraNav keys they brought back with the T450.  _________________ backend.cpp:92:2: warning: #warning TODO - this error message is about as useful as a cooling unit in the arctic |
