Disable touchpad without synaptics driver

i used hwd to set up my xorg.conf. there is no section for a synaptics touchpad, so i guess hwd didn't detect it. however, the stupid, little bugger is still working. i want a simple way to shut the damn thing off. it's seems insane to install the synaptics driver, then gsynaptics just to get it to stop working (it's like paying someone to stop punching you in the face).

would it be that core pointer thing? and, if so, would i comment it out with a #, @ or !, if it were?
You should also have a section "InputDevice" with some information about this "usb mouse". But if you only have your touchpad and no mouse plugged in, then commenting the line (with a #) is ok :
#InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
You really don't want a mouse ?
oh no, i have a mouse plugged in. i just run into trouble when typing and leaning around the touchpad.

Disable touchpad permanently without enabeling SHMConfig

Well the title says it all. I'd like to disable my touchpad permanently (using TrackPoint instead). There is the option to enable SHMConfig in xorg.conf an use
/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1
but I think it's somehow weird to enable one thing just to switch of another. Isn't there another way?

Hi, i have a damaged touchpad. I have disabled autodetection in xorg.conf and i have no entry in my xorg.conf for the touchpad so how do you enabled SHMconfig to be able to use synclient?
Removing the synaptics driver has no effect. Maybe is a module that can be blacklisted?
Your solution can be good for me if no other availeble. Please help me.(i tried from bios too).

Touchpad stop woking after Synaptics driver is installed

2 days ago I installed the new Ethernet, WWAN, Camera, Wireless, Audio, Graphics drivers from the HP website and also the latest BIOS, and the Synaptics touchpad mouse and stick mouse stopped working, if I remove the Synaptics driver the touchpad will work (very slow), If I reinstall the Synaptics driver again it will stop working, I've tried different versions of the Synaptics driver from the HP support website and nothing, as soon as the driver is installed the touchpad will stop working. I have removed the WWAN and Camera driver but nothing happens still the same. If I reboot into BIOS mode the touchpad works fine, so it's not a harware problem. If I check the Mouse Properties there is no Synaptics tab. If I check the Device Manager it's all good.
This question was solved.

@brosenz ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing I would ask is what prompted a BIOS update.
Did you have an issue with your system that required you to do a BIOS update. If not do an HP BIOS recovery back to the old version. If it isn't broke don't fix it.
Restoring the BIOS
After that do a system recovery back to the older driver and software. Again if it isn't broke don't fix it.
Now if you where having issues with the system that required a BIOS update and an update in drivers and the recovery does not resolve the problem. Contact HP phone support for repair options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Disabling Touchpad in UltraNav-Keyboard

Hello,
I'm using an IBM Thinkpad UltraNav-Keyboard (this one) and i'd like to disable the touchpad.
I've googled around, and all I've found is that I should make some changes to xorg.conf and/or the hal-policies.
I did so, but nothing happend. Even removing both, the xorg.conf and all the hal-policies didnt change anything.
Another option i've found is to change the behaviour using the Gsynaptics-Config-Tool.
I added 'Option "SHMConfig" "true"' in the section "InputDevice" in the xorg.conf and created an shmconfig.fdi with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">True</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
But when I try to run gsynaptics it still says:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
And yes, I've restartet HAL and X, I even rebooted. Still no change.
lshal ouptut for input.device:
input.product = 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' (string)
input.product = 'Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint' (string)
input.product = 'Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint' (string)
input.product = 'Lite-On Tech IBM USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav' (string)
input.product = 'Lite-On Tech IBM USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav' (string)
cat /dev/input/mouse1 responds to movements on my touchpad,
cat /dev/input/mouse2 responds to the trackpoint.
So, what do I have to change to disable the touchpad?
Thanks in advance,
tOmAtE

Ok, i read that but found nothing about governing and governed modules.
But I found out a couple of other things:
First of all I could get the trackpoint scrolling using this fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input">
<match key="info.product" contains="Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I'm able to disable the touchpad using "xinput set-prop 8 121 0" , see xinput list- and xinput list props-output.
Notice the device "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" is listed two times, i don't think that should be like that?
Using hal-device I found out that the pointing devices are driven by evdev.
When I created an hal-policy to load the Synaptics-Driver, neither trackpoint nor touchpad worked.
Xorg.log provides information why:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.3, module version = 1.2.1
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.1
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
(--) Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint: no supported touchpad found
(EE) Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
Apparently the xf86-input-synaptics-driver does not (or no longer?) support the Ultranav-Keyboard?
I wonder, because I read a lot about this the past few days, i'm almost sure i found some people who were using this keyboard with that driver.
Unfortunately i'm not able to find anything about that again.
Is there anything I could still try?
Otherwise i'll try this synaptics-usb-driver, that is reported to work.

After Windows 10 update synaptics driver forgets settings on reboot

Yes jf87, Win 8.1 on touchpads with availablity have swiping. It is gesturing across from left to right or right to left. Also up and down swipes. The swipes start from off the touchpad and swipe over the edge (with a singe finger)and onto the touchpad from one of the directions I mentioned. It brought up menus and other programs running. A nice option.

I might have found a trick, in any case that works for me with the latest Synaptics driver automatically installed today by Windows Update. Change the registry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\DisableIntPDFeature to "33" (Hexa - it should be set at 22). Reboot. Now it should disable the trackpad on startup when there's a mouse connected. Only downside is that now every time I reboot there is this Windows notification on the bottom right corner telling the trackpad has been disabled because a mouse is connected to the computer... Don't know how to get rid of that yet.EDIT: Nevermind, just disable the Synaptics app notifications in the computer settings (tab "notifications")...! PS: Found this by trying the last option from this reference: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-turn-off-touchpad-when-mouse-is-connected-in-windows-78-1/

[solved] disable touchpad

Hi all.
I'm trying to disable the touchpad from my laptop (Sony Vaio E)
When I run
synclient TouchpadOff=1
I get this
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
I have installed xf86-input-synaptics and xf86-input-evdev.. so, any help?

Synaptics Driver Problems? [solved]

Anybody else having issues with the synaptics driver lately? I spent the last couple weeks messing around with some other distros, and this morning when I reinstalled Arch I couldn't get X to start without changing my mouse driver from "synaptics" back to "mouse". I get 3 error messages all complaining about not being able to find the synaptics device. I'm not doing anything different from normal. I'm even using the same xorg.conf because I keep a backup of the one I know works. I also ran hwd to make a new one just in case my computer changed its hardware over night, but still no X if I try to use "synaptics".
Has the version of the synaptics package in the repositories changed recently? If so, I'm blaming the new version, because I had an almost identicle problem with FreeBSD using synaptics from ports.
Now, everybody upgrade your driver and tell me if it breaks.

See this thread.

Disabling touchpad

Hi everyone!
I have Solaris 10 running XSun server on x86 laptop. I'm using an USB mouse, which gets configured simultaneously with laptop's touchpad when using any of the drivers of kdmconfig available for an USB mouse. Sounds nice, but however I'd like to disable touchpad to avoid accidental mouse actions. How could this be done?
Any help is appreciated!

Besides,
I have another mouse-related problem, too. My mouse gets stuck after some JSD use, normally from 15 minutes to half an hour. The problem remains with every driver I've tried, both USB and touchpad. How to cure this?

Reset disabled iPad without iTunes

Well, I'm in trouble now.
I have an iPad that says "iPad Disabled Connect to iTunes" and it won't connect to anything but the computer it was set up with.
My problem now is that computer has since been reformatted and reinstalled a few times, so the iPad won't recognize it!
So I need to reset it without iTunes, or with iTunes on a "different" computer.
Help?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

[SOLVED] Synaptics Driver is not loaded

I try to set up a T400 and ran into problems with the touchpad. My 10-synaptics.conf sets synaptics as the driver:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "AlwaysCore"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "LeftEdge" "1632"
Option "RightEdge" "5312"
Option "TopEdge" "1575"
Option "BottomEdge" "4281"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.01"

Option "VertScrollDelta" "10"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "10"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
#Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"
#Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true"
EndSection
Still I find in Xorg.0.log:
[ 1471.148] (**) RADEON(0): Option "EXAVSync" "off"

[ 1471.584] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
[ 1471.584] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events
synclient -l gives:
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Also of course all synaptic options doesn't work..

I followed your advice and got suspicious when my touchpad stoped working completly. So I got rid of the 10-synaptics.conf posted above (which was taken from the T400 arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … _UltraNav) and started a new from strach. As there seems to be no native multitouch support I found the debian page quite helpful: http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad.
My new 10-synaptics.conf looks like that:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "35"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "100"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "8"
Option "CornerCoasting" "1"
Option "CircularScrolling" "1"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "7"
EndSection
and everything works as suposed. Thanks for the hint!

[Solved] Synaptics driver not loaded

Recently im getting
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
when I run synclient
Touchpad still works but the synaptics driver is apparently not loaded. I have xf86-input-synaptics installed.
I can't figure out how to load the synaptics driver.

This started after an update about a week ago. It was working perfectly fine with no effort before. I have an elantech touchpad.

I've mostly found ubuntu forums with the issue, they all linked to the debian wiki on synaptics which didn't help much. Even the allmighty archwiki had no troubleshooting instructions for synaptics.

You can't unless the PowerBook is running Mac OS X Server, in which case the NetInstall feature can be used.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

How do I install Tiger without DVD drive?

How do I install Tiger without DVD drive on a Powerbook?
My Powerbook had some problems recently, the HDD and the Superdrive where gone. I replaced the HD but can not get Tiger installed here because the DVD drive isn't working. I boot right now from a FW HD. Any Ideas how to install the OS on the internal drive?
Any ideas would be apreciated.

Re: Using DVD drive in iMac G4 for iMac G3 in Target Disk Mode-->won't read DVD

I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."
