Hi all, I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5510 laptop. Of course, it has a touchpad (which I think of as a nuisance pad). I would like to be able to disable the touchpad easily. Are there any best practices or suggestions for how to do this? (I am using xfce4 as the desktop environment if that matters.) Sometimes the touchpad is discovered as a PS/2 Generic Mouse on the i8042 AUX port, and sometimes it is discovered as this touchpad: "DELL0B24:00 04F3:3147 Touchpad" on some I2C device: "i2c-DELL0B24:00". (The different discoveries might have something to do with my kernel configuration/builds, but I don't know that for sure.) I have some very hackish scripts that I can run to toggle the 'inhibited' flag in sysfs (/sys/class/input/ for the I2C device or or /sys/devices/platform/i8042/ for the i8042 AUX port device), but that requires root (sudo), so that does not qualify as "easily" IMO. E.g., $ sudo toggle-aux-mouse or $ sudo toggle-i2c-touchpad depending on which configuration the device is in. Thanks for any advice etc. -- ~Randy
