hey everybody,
i have this pecolior problem,
i have a old laptop i revived couple of days ago,
i installed mx linux on it,
before mx i had a few different distros on it and i had the same problem with all of them which makes me think it's somtung with the hardware,
anyway the problem is: the mouse pointer well start moving every few minutes to different directions and be hard to control,
i have two input methods on this laptop,
1 is the touchpad, and the other is this tiny joystick in the senter of the keyboard,
i searched online and find this commaned:
xinput set-prop <input device number> "Device Enabled" 0
xinput set-prop <input device number> "Device Enabled" 1
0 to dissable and 1 to enable,
i used it on my laptop and the problem stoped entil i booted the machine again then i had to do the same thing again,
so i'd like to know:
1: how do i make it permenotly dissabled?
2: for some reason this way of solving the problem stoped working and now i have no clue on how to solve it
my machine details are:
