According to
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Synaptics_TouchPad_driver_for_X, you can
either:
* Execute `xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics \
Off" 8 1` at a command prompt (or bind that to a hotkey)
* Create a file /etc/X11/xorg.d/*.conf with the contents:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
EndSection
and restart X.
