 |
|
My laptop has a nipple (for controlling the mouse), two mouse buttons, and a trackpad. I want to disable the nipple only. I do this with
or 12 depending on when it was found at boot (I guess). The trouble is that this also disables the two mouse buttons. The output of "xinput -list-props 11" is

You may look in that synclient tool
Parts of my i3.config. ignore that exec command, its i3wm specific
look up those parameters, if any can help you.
I assume when you type something you want to ignore the mouse functionality temporarily, correct?
| Code: | #turns off the built in touchpad
exec synclient touchpadoff=0 PalmDetect=1 PalmMinZ=100 PalmMinWidth=8
#Using the driver's automatic palm detection
#First of all you should test if it works properly for your touchpad and if the settings are accurate. Enable palm detection with
#$ synclient PalmDetect=1
#Then test the typing. You can tweak the detection by setting the minimum width for the touch to be considered a palm, for example
#$ synclient PalmMinWidth=8
#And you can tweak the minimum pressure required for the touch to be considered a palm, for example
#$ synclient PalmMinZ=100

i don't want to disable the touchpad. It's working fine.
I just want to disable the nipple. The trouble is that when I do that it also disables both mouse buttons. Not the touchpad buttons (they remain operational) but the physical mouse buttons.
How do I just disable the nipple? |

the palm recognition temporarily removes some unwanted mouse movement while typing on the notebook keyboard.
Regarding your question.
It depends on the hardware in the first place. If the hardware consider it as two input devices or just as one input device. If the input is seperated.
You may be able to disable it via a hardware hack permanently. |

ah. ok. Can you tell from my post if the OS considers them separate hardware? I think not, but I thought that one could use the other stats there to target just the nipple. |

for example, can i do anything with the line
| Code: | | Button Labels (268): "Button Left" (141), "Button Middle" (142), "Button Right" (143), "Button Wheel Up" (144), "Button Wheel Down" (145), "Button Horiz Wheel Left" (146), "Button Horiz Wheel Right" (147) |
??? Can that be used to only disable the stick and keep the mouse buttons working? |
