Line 1: Line 1:
 +Very simple, just install:
 +<code>
 + sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
 +</code>
 +
 +Execute:
 +<code>
 +gpointing-device-settings
 +</code>
 +Select TouchPad off.
 +
 +For some reason this doesn't do it or you experience that it re-enables it self, try this:
 +
 +<code>
 + xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 8 0
 +</code>
 +
 +To find the name of your device run:
 +<code>
 +hl@hl-laptop:~$ xinput list |grep -i touchpad
 +"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" id=7 [XExtensionPointer]
 + Type is TOUCHPAD
 +</code>
