In Ubuntu 11.10 the feature "auto disabling the touchpad, when a usb
mouse is plugged" is still not available. Also I do not want to enable
SHMConfig. Thats why I help myself with following udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="1",
RUN+="/sbin/rmmod psmouse"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", BUS=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="1",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe psmouse"
I am not 100% happy with this solution, but it works. I do not like to
remove a kernel modul just for disabling a device. Does someone know a
way to disable the touchpad with a setting, like done with synclient or
xinput, but with disabled SHMConfig?
It would be great if the auto disabling feature would find its way into
ubuntu, after such a long time.
Cheers Borim
