Hi Henry,
thanks for your advice. I tried messing around with xinput a bit and (thanks to Keir Thomas' Ubuntu Pocket Guide) found out that gives at least minimal help
But still I can't get a satisfying result:
The output of
Code:
xinput list-props "DualPoint Stick"
is the following:
Code:
Device 'DualPoint Stick':
Device Enabled (89): 0
Evdev Reopen Attempts (225): 0
Evdev Axis Inversion (264): 0, 0
Evdev Axis Calibration (265):
Evdev Axes Swap (266): 0
Evdev Middle Button Emulation (267): 2
Evdev Middle Button Timeout (268): 50
Evdev Wheel Emulation (269): 0
Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (270): 0, 0, 4, 5
Evdev Wheel Emulation Inertia (271): 10
Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (272): 200
Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (273): 4
Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (274): 0
where I manually set "Enabled" to 0 and "Reopen Attempts" to 0 (was 10).
(just to try if this has any influence on my problem *g*)
Unfortunately the problem is still unsolved though. The Touchpad is working (this is an extra device in xinput called "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad") but randomly freezes if the Track Stick is touched (or I type on the keyboard)
May there be a way to completely "disconnect" (in a software way) the stick, maybe using the evdev driver or something?
In Windows there is a proprietary driver for the Touchpad/TrackStick combination where one can completely disable the TrackStick (because it does the same nonsense movement in Win when not disabled...)
Again, thanks for your answer and have a great week!
Marcus
