I'm a little confused. It seems that "disabling the touchpad while typing" can be done from system settings in Gnome, but is not so straightforward in Kubuntu. I see there are several related posts on these forums, but the approach to touchpad has changed hasn't it, from Hardy to Intrepid, not to mention Karmic?
I have seen a Kubuntu user recommend "touchfreeze" in the repos, but I can't find any touchfreeze.
On this site,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sy...Touchpad/Hardy
Kubuntu users are recommended to use the Xubuntu method, i.e. to "enable SHMconfig", and a separate link gives instructions as to how to do this. The procedure seems a little daunting.
I will not baulk at it if this is really what is needed for Kubuntu users, and if it works, but is there anybody who can tell me whether this is really the best way to disable touchpad while typing?
Anybody out there?
