In general:
xinput set-prop id-number "Device Enabled" 0
Specific example (if I wanted to disable my UVC Camera):
xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0
You need to identify the id-number of the touchpad first.
Steps:
1. at the command prompt, use:
xinput list
Example output:
xinput list

⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Razer Razer Ornata Chroma id=10 [slave pointer (2)]

Anyone know how to turn off the touchpad on my newish HP laptop? The X synaptics tool
