Hey I have a Sentelic touchpad that doesn't work very well in Linux, its supposed to be all multi-touch and such, it works all right in MS Windows. I really am not a fan of using Windows though.



The worst thing that it does .. is that it doesn't disable itself when typing, so it will always take focus away. I can disable it with modprobe -r psmouse but it would be nice to have it do this automatically.



Also if you can think of a workaround to re-enable it automatically that would be great :)

I eventually found a solution. As almost always someone smarter than me had the same problem, and also a solution :) github.com/gokmen/Sentelic.



Sentelic Mouse (Asus UX31) disable daemon while typing.




  1. First install Xlib and Udev Python bindings. (Udev Python bindings are optional though)

  2. You need root privileges to run the daemon.



    $ sudo ./sentelic.py

  3. Default timeout is 0.9 sec. You can define the timeout in /etc/sentelic.conf:



    timeout=1.5
