Yes correct. The changes cheatcode should save your changes but in your bootcode i didn't see any changes= so i assumed you weren't saving changes.
You "a s s u m e"d!! You do know what "assume"ing does, right?

No. If you run the Razor Session Configurator after logging in as root, then the file is created in /root/.config/autostart/synclient.desktop.
Really!! You didn't get the error? hmmm I followed your steps to the letter, including drive sda6. I wonder why I did.

Looking forward to it.

For now i have the perfect solutions for you. To test it please open up a console and enter:
This should started the syndaemon which waits for keys to be pressed and disables the touchpad. 1 second after you stop typing the touchpad is activated again.
Oh, I like the sound of this. Can the 1 second be changed to 2 or 3?
brokenman wrote:If this works then it should be as simple as making the autostart file. This time let's do it manually to make certain the file is created.
Code: Select all
[ ! -d /root/.config/autostart ] && mkdir -p /root/.config/autostart # If no autostart folder exists then create it
cat > /root/.config/autostart/syndaemon.desktop << EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=syndaemon -i 1 -d
Name=syndaemon
Type=Application
Version=1.0
EOF
That's all. The first line creates the autostart folder if it doesn't already exist. EOF
The second creates the syndaemon.desktop file and adds everything between the EOF (End of file) tag.
Wow!! I like what can be done in terminal mode. But this "command" [ ! -d /root/.config/autostart ] with brackets does what?? I've never encounter a command in brackets.

Many thoughts crossing my mine on that.

not as often.
BTW This new approach seems to have helped but not 100% The cursor still jumps to the pointer regardless of where it is periodically, but definitely
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# [ ! -d /root/.config/autostart ]
root@porteus:~# mkdir -p /root/.config/autostart
root@porteus:~# cat > /root/.config/autostart/syndaemon.desktop << EOF
