Before I try to install the Synaptics touchpad driver to use with my Alps touchpad (scary), does anybody know if the Synaptics driver has an option for disabling the touchpad while typing? The Windows driver from Alps has an option for that so you don't accidently tap the touchpad while typing and move the cursor. After having this happen quite a few times while writing a long paper, I decided it might be worth "upgrading" from the generic PS/2 drivers to the Synaptics drivers. I think that the PalmDetect option might be what I am looking for but the documentation doesn't explain what it is. Does anybody know?
