Binary package hint: acpi-support

The script asus-touchpad.sh disables touchpad until keyboard is typed. This problem seems to be caused by syndaemon, which re-enables touchpad after typing. With syndaemon shut down this doesn't occur.

I suggest fixing this by using the xinput property Device Enabled instead of Synaptics Off in asus-touchpad.sh

Steps to repeat the problem:
Seen on Ubuntu 9.10 with acpi-support 0.129. Using Lenovo T61.
1) Disable touchpad via Fn+F8
2) Verify disableness by using the touchpad
3) Type some keys
4) Verify enableness by using the touchpad
