Just upgraded to 9.10 from 8.04 on my laptop. I always had the touchpad disabled in 8.04 but its now working again and cant seem to work out how to disable it again. Any one know how to do it in 9.10?
First off sorry because I don't do things through the GUI.
Why do you want the touchpad disabled ? if it's because your palm hits it when typing then just enable the option "disable touchpad while typing". If you want to disable it completely just open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
to re-enable it just do
Code:
sudo modprobe psmouse
test it out and see how you get on, any changes will not be permanent and will reset when you reboot. To make it permanent just edit your /etc/rc.local file
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
add this line just above exit 0
Code:
modprobe -r psmouse
and save it.. make sure you test it properly first before you make it permanent.
How you finding 9.10, personally I think it rocks ! loadsa little things that niggled me are now sorted and my 7 second boot time went down to 6 seconds
