For those who like me only want to be able to toggle the touchpad on and off ( on my vostro 3750 )
1 - get device id with:
:~$ xinput -list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
2- disable device with:
xinput set-int-prop 15 "Device Enabled" 8 0
if you need it back use: xinput set-int-prop 15 "Device Enabled" 8 1
