Comment 29 for bug 1590590

ah, sorry, got hooked up with post #10 where Michal writes that "I cannot change the "Disable touchpad while typing".
To me, that's the most annoying part about the touchpad that is not recognized correctly - and as long as there's no kernel fix available thats the best but rather crude work-around that I was able to find.

But, you're right indeed - the xinput stuff doesn't fix the issue at all!
