Comment 154 for bug 296610

@Dmitry: Sort of both and more. The touchpad is getting in the way of typing but also in the way of using the trackpoint. With Sebastian's patch and when the touchpad is disabled with e.g. gsynaptics, things are almost OK. But the touchpad gets re-enabled seemingly at random. And even when it stays disabled, weird pointer activity can be triggered e.g. by moving two fingers into opposing directions on the touchpad. Similar pointer-jumping-things happen accidentally sometimes when I'm using the trackpoint. With Sebastian's patch I do not see "sync lost" errors. Is there a way to disable the touchpad with proto=exps?
