    @mfergo: I have another question dude!

    yes your following script works properly bud how can we integrate it with the our keyboard shortcuts?
    for example in my Dell 5110 how can we define the script for FN+F3 to enable and disable the touchpad?

    this is my problem why it does not work in the normal way here quality of work becomes important

    Re: Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome on Dell 6510: cannot disable touchpad

    In a brand new Dell Inspiron N5110 (and Ubuntu 11.10 64bits), the scripts of @d.burba, @mikejonesey and @fujisan did not work properly for me, so I did another version that did. Hope it helps:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    cd $HOME
    touchPadId=$(xinput list | grep -i Point | grep "PS/2 Generic Mouse" | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -b 1-2)
    #echo Device ID: $touchPadId
    
    if [ "$touchPadId" = "" ]; then
        echo "Unable to identify device id..."
    else
        enabledId=$(xinput --list-props $touchPadId | grep -i enabled | sed 's/.*(//' | sed 's/).*//')
        #echo Property ID: $enabledId
        status=$(xinput --list-props $touchPadId | grep -i enabled | sed 's/.*://')
        #echo Status: $status 
        if [ $status = 0 ]; then
            xinput set-prop $touchPadId $enabledId 1
            echo Trackpad Enabled
        else
            xinput set-prop $touchPadId $enabledId 0
            echo Trackpad Disabled

    thank you so much shevek for this script; I've been looking for this.. Unfortunately neither Jupiter nor Touchpad Indicator didn't work for my Inspiron 5110..
