I'm beginning to agree with daveMustane that the touchpad settings are best when at their defaults.
Here are the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Multitouch Touchpad"
Driver "mtrack"
MatchIsTouchpad "yes"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "CorePointer" "true"
Option "Sensitivity" "0.95"
EndSection # "Multitouch Touchpad"
The mtrack developer offers "dispad" to disable the trackpad while typing (actually it disables clicking while typing). It seems to work well. To get it up and running:
Code:
wget -q http://www.dev.fatedmariner.org/packages/dispad/ubuntu/dispad_0.1_natty_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i dispad_0.1_natty_amd64.deb
Then, to make dispad run upon log-in, go to the Unity dock, type "Startup Applications."
Choose "Add" and enter the following information:
Code:
Name: dispad
Command: /usr/bin/dispad
Comment: Disable trackpad while typing.
and click "Save."
