Code: Select all
synclient TouchpadOff=1
synclient PalmDetect=0
Didn't work for me.
Also for some reason system couldn't see path to /usr/bin/synclient.
And find did not found binary.
Location is described on slackware.pkgs.org and it works.
This worked for me:
install xinput
find name of the touchpad device
create shortcuts to disable/enable touchpad.
Code: Select all
slackpkg install xinput
xinput list
xinput set-prop "Synaptics TM3336-001" "Device Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop "Synaptics TM3336-001" "Device Enabled" 0
Or create shortcut with script that enables touchpad, waits 10-20 seconds and disables it.
This way you don't need screenlock from co-workers or family members
This also works well.
But does not always suits the case.
Sometimes you want to move mouse just after typing.
Perhaps some tools like unclutter also can be used.
