Hi,
In my KDE4 based laptop I was using the option disabling the touchpad
when mouse is connected and when keyboard is used.
What's interesting: this option was available when touchpad
configuration was displayed separately in the "lost & found" section
of "system settings" in KDE.
After certain update a few weeks ago (I'm using debian/testing) this
option disappeared.
The touchpad configuration is available in the "input devices"
section, but no possibility to switch it off automatically when mouse
or keyboard is used is listed.
Unfortunately typing without this option is error prone, a the cursos
jumps randomly when touchpad is accidentally touched...
How can I get this useful option back?
Do you have access to Synaptics (note the "s" on the end)? This is a
program that will do exactly what you want, as far as
the mouse is concerned. AFAIK, it does nothing for a remote keyboard.
I use it with PCLinuxOS on a Dell laptop, and it
works perfectly.
