Failed to disable the Touchpad, which is big enough, and close enough to the keyboard, to constantly interfere with typing. Giving commands via synclient would inactivate it for at most 30 seconds. Uninstalling the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package had no effect. Other approaches, similar to
these, also failed.
I use this command to disable mine:
PHP Code:
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 8 0
