[solved] syndaemon not working

[chipbennett]

In Kubuntu Hardy, I used a startup script that invoked syndaemon:

syndaemon -d -t &

This script started syndaemon, which properly disabled touchpad input while typing.

However, the same script no longer works in Karmic. I've tried enabling SHMconfig, and adding the -S switch:

syndaemon -d -t -S &

And it likewise appears not to work.

Any idea how to use syndaemon (or some other means) properly in Karmic, to disable touchpad input while typing?

Thanks in advance!

Possibly How to disable taps as mouse clicks on touchpad?

Re: syndaemon not working

I think I found the solution: the -S switch no longer exists/works in syndaemon, so I had to change my autostart script to:

syndaemon -d -t &

(I was mistaken previously; the -S was an artifact of syndaemon in Hardy, not the other way around.)
