Talk:UltraNav

Is there a reliable way to turn off the touchpad and the lowermost buttons, but leave the other functions (trackpoint and three buttons above the pad) not tampered with? Thanks for input!

Update: Nevermind, I just found the BIOS-option to disable it :D

Yes there is with the very latest distributions like Fedora 10 with updates applied create a file like this:

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/disable-touchpad.fdi

<match key="info.product" string="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad">
 <merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">1</merge>
</match>

You will need to reboot (actually restart both X11 and HAL, but reboot is easier at that point) before it takes effect. --Tonko 00:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
