Offing One's Touchpad

[Forester]

Is there a way to transfer a comment on 15x11 to
the changed xorg.conf so as to alert folks to
what's been done?

Umm ...

You've got /etc/X11. In there are (amongst others), are a configuration file and two scripts:

xorg.conf
Xreset
Xsession

and three directories:

xorg.conf.d
Xreset.d
Xsession.d

So if you wanted to put a comment somewhere to the effect you'd added a script to Xsession.d you'd put it in Xsession, not xorg.conf.

But since the whole point of the directory Xsession.d is so that packages and people can add stuff to the X session start-up without actually editing the file Xsession (so that it too can be upgraded sans sourci), adding comments to Xsession to say you'd added something in Xsession.d might be seen as rather missing the point.

touchpadoff=1 aint right.
It's TouchpadOff=1

@dinosoep

If you're still confused, I think there's an silent synclient in there somewhere. Try:

synclient TouchpadOff=1

I presume you refer to LXDE main menu/System tools/Configuration editor,
but I've never understood just how to work that monstrosity.
I wasn't even sure it applied to 6.4.4.
Is there an instruction manual somewhere?

@utu
You've got that with only the CD edition ? May be bits of it are honoured by LXDE. Documentation ? Try http://www.gnome.org/.

@anyone else
Anyway, anyone can turn off the annoying touchpad behaviour while typing. Where ever utu put:

synclient TouchpadOff=1

instead put:

syndaemon -d -t -k
