This did not work for me, as the Touchpad was still sending events via the default InputDevice ("Configured Mouse"). What worked was:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
# InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
