Hi, I need help finding my mouse pad drivers

Hi, everyone I have a Presario CQ56 112nr, and Ubuntu works with out any problems, In windows I would turn off my mouse pad because it will get in the way when I type, is there any drivers for Ubuntu that will let me turn off the mouse pad because I us a mouse instead because i can stand the mouse pad, so I us a out side mouse, thanks :)

try this :

System Settings -->Mouse n Touchpad and try to make your adjustments.

Let us know

you may be able to disable it within your BIOS
OR
you could try one of the function keys (Lenovo Thinkpad T500 it's Fn+F8)
OR
you can try

Code:

---

synclient TouchPadOff=1

---

you may have to do that every reboot though.

Good luck

Thanks everyone I used this and it worked

Code:

---

synclient TouchPadOff=1
