Disabling Laptop Touchpad?

[Ubik Valis]

I've been trying to find a way to disable my laptop's touchpad, but I've had no luck so far, so now I turn to the geeks of SG for some help.

I've tried looking in Settings > Control Panel > Mouse, but it'll only allow me to disable my USB-mouse.

It also won't let me change the sensitivity of the touchpad...


Help please?

In my sis' laptop there's a little icon on the tray that when double-clicked on shows the touchpad menu..

Nada.

You laptop must have an application that handles that or at least there has to be one on the Internet. Have you checked the official support page?

Go the easy way, cover it with some ducktape.

Try disabling it from the Hardware tab. Click on the device, then click Properties and go to the General Tab. There should be a drop down box at the bottom called "Device Usage", try setting it to "Do Not Use this Device (Disabled)". Try that after you install the driver though.

Your laptop is not hp i guess....because hp has a little button to disable the touch pad.......Normally your laptop will have a software to control your touchpad.

Why do you want to disable it? Just don't touch it.

Disabling Laptop Touchpad

If eeepc-tray is set up for it, its likely that one of the silver keys at the top will enable/disable touchpad. Probably the first one.

If not, you can set it up so that it does for which ever key youd like.
