Disabling touchpad

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1051 / 2 Years ago, thu, october 27, 2022, 12:26:08

I have a dell inspiron computer. I installed Ubuntu 11.10. I don't want to use its touchpad but I could not disable it. gconf-editor cannot be useful because touchpad is not seen in peripherals although it is properly working.

What should I do?

My hardware: Alps Touchpad for Inspiron N5110

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator

After installation, open the indicator from Applications -> Accessories -> Touchpad Indicator and set your touchpad in top-right

This is the easiest way to disable.
