In unstable (and possibly testing) palm detection (ignoring the touchpad when typing) is enabled by default if you're using xserver- xorg-input-libinput On stable (or at least in older GNOME releases) there used to be a setting to turn on something similar for synaptics (but I don't think it worked very well). If your DE doesn't have a similar option you'll probably have to configure syndaemon yourself. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
