How to disable a feature in a driver or disable a certain driver all together?
For instance, the one thing I hated more than anything, was the touch-pad on here, and I mean whenever you touched it it counted as a mouse click. I always hated it and in Windows I found a way to disable it with disabling the entire mouse pad, how do I do the same in Ubuntu? In every other distribution I didn't have to worry about it, but I suppose that I'm using the proprietary drivers or something.
Anyway, TL;DR: How do I disable a touch pad feature |
Use your xorg configuration files. For example, for my Synaptics touchpad I have the following file, named 50-synaptics.conf, in the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Code:
# Use "synclient -l" to see all available options For more options that can be used in that file have a look at Code:
synclient -l Remember, this all is for Synaptics touchpads, I don't know how to configure other touchpads. |

If it means anything, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop *For now* Code:
[theif519@theif519-Aspire-5520 X11]$ synclient -l |
The file is not there by default. Either you copy that section to your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf or you create the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and then create that file in it.
Both solutions should work. |
