Automatically disabling touchpad when mouse plugged in

Is there some way for me to configure udev so that, when I plug a USB mouse into my laptop, the laptop's touchpad gets disabled? And reenabled if I pull the mouse? The touchpadd can be a PITA when I am typing ... a slight brush of the thumb can cause a "mouse click" often moving my cursor location.

See the manpage of udev, quote:
After device node creation, removal, or network device  renaming,  udev
       executes  the programs located in the directory tree under /etc/dev.d/.
       The name of a program must have the suffix .dev to be recognized.
       In addition to the hotplug environment variables, UDEV_LOG  is  set  if
       udev  is  configured  to use the syslog facility. Executed programs may
       want to follow that setting.  DEVNAME is exported to make the  name  of
       the  created node, or the name the network device is renamed to, avail-
       able to the executed program.  The  programs  in  every  directory  are
       sorted in lexical order, while the directories are searched in the fol-
       lowing order:
       /etc/dev.d/$(DEVNAME)/*.dev
       /etc/dev.d/$(SUBSYSTEM)/*.dev
       /etc/dev.d/default/*.dev

  • Problem disabling touchpad when mouse present

    Hi,
    I looked on the wiki to find out how to disable the touchpad on my laptop when a USB mouse is present. I configured xorg.conf in the correct way, then I added the following udev rules as instructed:
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_CLASS="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1"
    ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_CLASS="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0"
    This works to an extent, insofar as when I have a running system with X working the touchpad is disabled and enabled when the mouse is plugged in or removed respectively. However, when I boot the machine with a mouse attached, X starts up and both devices are enabled. The reason for this is twofold:
    1. synclient will not work properly when the X server is not running
    2. An "add" action is not generated for the device unless you actually plug it in on a running system
    Is there any way to detect the presence of the USB mouse on boot and disable the touchpad? It would be much cooler if this could be done without looking for specific device names like /dev/input/mouse0, mouse1 etc. because then we will have a solution that works for everyone that we can put on the wiki.

    OK, so this is just a skeleton of a possible solution...  Assuming that it is a USB mouse that we're talking about...  Run "lsusb and check the ID number of the mouse (it should look something like "07aa:2501", for example).  Write a little script which looks something like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    lsusb | grep -q 07aa:2501
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
    then
    /usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1
    fi
    Change "07aa:2501" to the ID of your mouse, of course.  The script checks if the mouse is connected and if it is it disables the touchpad; if mouse is not connected then nothing happens.  I haven't checked if it works (I have no mouse to try it with here) but it should work.  Once you save the script and make it executable add it to /etc/rc.local so that it gets executed on every boot.
    EDIT: You're right -- synclient is not going to work if X server is not running, so the rc.local is not a good place to execute that script...  It's not a huge problem -- you should be able to execute it during the start up routine of X (add it to xinitrc, possibly with sleep to make sure that X is actually started when the script is executed) or to autostart in gnome/kde (depending on what WM/DE you're using).

  • Satellite Pro M30: automatically switch off touchpad when i plug a mouse

    Hi,
    Is it possible to configure the M30 so that it automatically switches off the touchpad, when I plug in a usb mouse?
    Thank you

    ... because of the annoying Cursor-jumping when you write a text and accidently touch the pad. But thanks for your answers. I'll stay with "Fn & F9".
    Cheers

    Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to yuor computer and restore via iTunes.

  • Automatically disable wireless when connected to lan

    automatically disable wireless when connected to lan

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answer. I'm trying to deploy the profile that I've created on all my laptops. But i'm facing an issue for a while.
    When the profile is deployed on a laptop, Access Connections finds a new ethernet port and asks to assign it a profile. But the problem is that Access Connection don't allow me to assign it to my wired profile, only to my wireless profile and that doesn't make sens to me. Besides, it is written in the dialogue box that ethernet profiles are disable for the match of the new port...
    Is there any way to assign the new port to the new profile without human interaction or just how to make the wired profile available when access connection is launched and find a new ethernet connection
    Thanks in advance!

  • Problem with udev rule to disable touchpad when USB mouse connects

    Hi, I've been running Arch on this laptop, but I can't get this udev rule to work properly.
    What I want to happen is: when I plug in my usb mouse, the laptop touchpad is disabled, and the left and right buttons are reversed (I'm left handed)
    After following several tutorials, both from the arch wiki and other sites, I've come up with this udev rule:
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/USBMouse.sh"
    ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/USBMouse.sh"
    And here's the script it links to (USBMouse.sh):
    #!/bin/bash
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    synclient TouchPadOff=$(/usr/bin/lsusb | grep "Microsoft Corp.\
    Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth" | wc -l)
    if [[ $(/usr/bin/lsusb | grep "Microsoft Corp.\
    Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth" | wc -l) == 1 ]]
    then
    xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 2 1'
    fi
    if [[ $(/usr/bin/lsusb | grep "Microsoft Corp.\
    Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth" | wc -l) == 0 ]]
    then
    xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3'
    fi
    Running the script from a terminal returns no errors and works as expected. The problem is when I plug/unplug the mouse from the usb port, nothing happens.
    I appreciate any insight you might have about how to fix this, and thank you in advance

    This has already been done. And another relevant thread.

  • Udev rule to disable touchpad when usbmouse is used [solved]

    Hello guys,
    I tried the udev-rule from the wiki to disable/enable touchpad when my usbmouse is plugged/unplugged.
    Here is the rule:
    #/etc/udev/rules.d/01-touchpad.rules
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1"
    ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0"
    The problem is that the status of my touchpad won't change when I plug/unplug my mouse. It has to be a problem with the rule because manually the synclient command works without any problem.
    Here is the relevant output of lsusb:
    Bus 007 Device 012: ID 046d:c00c Logitech, Inc. Optical Wheel Mouse
    Thank you.

  • L3000-N100 - Disable touchpad when typing?

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 with Windows Vista.  I want to disable the touchpad when using a USB mouse. The touchpad does not show up in the control panel under 'mouse'.  There is no button anywhere near the touchpad.  There is no function key with a mouse or touchpad symbol visible on it.  There are 4 buttons on the top right, 3 control volume, and the 4th one looks like an orange suitcase with a wrench, but it doesn't appear to do anything.  I've searched forums,  but can't find a solution.  Can anybody tell me how I can disable the touchpad to stop the cursor from jumping all over when I'm typing?  Thanks!!!
    Solved!

    Hi griffraser,
    You should have a Synaptics touchpad.  Try going into Control Panel, Device Manager and at the top of the window, click view.  Then click "Show hidden devices".  Then click Mice and other pointing devices and see if the touchpad shows up in there. If it does, right click it and then click disable.
    Do you not have an icon for the touchpad in your taskbar on the right side?
    Edit:  If you don't, you should be able to go back into Control Panel and click Taskbar and Start Menu and then click Customize in the Notification area window. I always have the "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" checked, but if you don't, you can click on the "Show icon and notifications' to the right of the touchpad and the icon for the touchpad should show up in the taskbar.  It's easy  to disable it from the taskbar then. 
    Regards,
    Dave

  • How to disable trackpad when mouse attached?

    I used to be able to disable the trackpad when i was using a mouse by going into trackpad system prefs. With the new version of trackpad, I can't seem to do that. Is there a way to disable the trackpad when my mouse is attached?

    I would like to be able to disable the trackpad too, as I was before 10.5.06. At present I get an otherwise useful instruction video when I hit 'trackpad' in 'system preferences'. Since I have seen the video before and know by now what the trackpad can do, I really miss the earlier available option of disabling it when I don't need it.
    Any advice on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

  • How can I unlock my daughters ipod.  She had forgotten the code and tried to get in so many times it says ipod disabled.  When I plug it in the computer it does not recognize it.  help please.

    How do you unlock a disabled ipod touch?  My daughter has locked herself out and my computer doen't recognize it when we plug it in.

    When you say it doesent recognize it do you mean it doesent apear what so ever in iTunes?, or do you get a recovery screen?
    If it doesent apear what so ever try having the iPod plugged in and while it is still plugged in hold the power and home button at the same time for 10secounds and see if the device apears when it restarts.
    If the device still doesent apear try another iPod connector.
    Concerning the forgotten password, you will have to put your iPod in recovery mode. A video on how to do this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
    After that click the restore button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
    Once it has finished restore the iPod from a backup which can be found by right-clicking the iPod name in the left of the iTunes window.
    If you have any other questions please ask

  • How automatically launch program when I plug in USB device?

    I bought a Neat scanner for my receipts and I want the Neat software to automatically open when I plug the scanner in. How do I do that?

    Do you have firewall or anti-virus software running?  If you do, it helps to turn it off.  Otherwise, click on this link and see if it helps:  http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/

  • Does iPhone4 (Verizon) automatically DISABLE 3G when in WiFi?

    I know that when in WiFi, the iPhone4 will prefer / use the WiFi network instead of the 3G network.  However, my question is whether the iPhone automatically disables the 3G radio when in WiFi.  I have unlimited 3G data, but WiFi is faster and is also better on the battery, so when I am in WiFi I prefer to use it instead of 3G.  I want 3G disabled while I am in WiFi to save battery.  Of course, I can manually go in, enable WiFi and disable 3G, but I have noticed that when my iPhone connects to WiFi, the WiFi antenna symbol replaces the 3G symbol next to the Verizon bars.  This makes me wonder if the iPhone is actually turning off 3G automatically when it connects to WiFi versus just preferring WiFi but still having the 3G radio on.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps I didn't phrase the question exactly right.  I can go into Settings and disable 3G (actually on the Vz iPhone it is Disable Cellular Data), which leaves voice connectivity but no ablity to get 3G data, and helps preserve battery.  When I am in WiFi, does the iPhone automatically disable Cellular Data or does this still have to done manually?  Thanks!

  • Can't disable touchpad when external mouse connected

    Hey guys,
    OS: Win7 64Bit
    Product : b0p18pa#ab4
    Model: dv6-7007tx
    The only way i've figured out a way to disable the touchpad is to uninstall the PS/2 compatible mouse in device manager. (which requires a restart) to come into effect and is reinstalled after the next restart afterwards.
    the touchpad is SO sensitive it makes it extremely aggrivating to type as i keep tapping  the pad with my palms.
    any insight would be fantastic.
    cheers guys.

    Hi,
    Please try:
       Control panel > Mouse > ClickPad Settings
       Tick Disable internal pointing device when .....
       Click Apply

  • How to disable touchpad when usb mouse in on HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏ using Windows 7

    I would like to have my touch pad disabled when using my USB mouse or otherwise be able to manually disable it.  It is a pain to use when typing with the touch pad enabled but I would like to use the touch pad on occasions such as when I am traveling or if my mouse goes out. Not to mention, I would need to re-enable the touh pad if for some reason I have no mouse (keyboard shortcut?)
    I am using windows 7 on my HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏

    This is what it looks like. 
    You should consider returning you notebook to the Windows 8 OS. There are many new features that it has that Windows 7 never did. Download use the free open source software called classic shell to give yourself a start button in Windows 8 that even has more features than Windows 7 start buton does. Once you use Windows 8 for a while you will enjoy it, especially the refresh feature and lower memory use. 
    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Windows 7 drivers.
