As stated in comment #20, touchpad blocks correctly, it is only a matter
of the number of seconds the touchpad is blocked.
I think the correct solution is to provide the blocking time as a gconf
setting and still use 0.5s as a reasonable default.

While waiting for clear step by step instructions (my mother tongue is
not English and I'm not expert) to modify delay parameter -i to help
on solving the issue with results from my tests, I inform that the
solution reported on comment #21 (thick paper on the palm rest) seems to
work at moment
This is still a problem in Ubuntu 10.10 which I installed in my Acer
Aspire 8530G and I opened Bug #646860 to solve it.
This my experience.
I have just tried a suggestion to palce two sheets of paper on the palm
rest (one on the right of tochpad, one on the left) and I did not

This bug affects me too. On my MacbookPro 6-2, I see that syndaemon is running,
but it doesn't seem to be working as I would expect. Here's my ps output which
shows how syndaemon was started:
$ ps aux | grep syndaemon
michael 1827 0.0 0.0 29180 1072 ?SOct30 0:20 syndaemon -i
This is still a problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. There is a setting in
menu System Preferences Mouse Touchpad that claims to disable
touchpad clicks while typing. However, this is implemented in gnome-
settings-daemon poorly. In that daemon, in function
set_disable_w_typing, the settings
This appears to have been done (badly) by default in Ubuntu 9.10...

As of Ubuntu 8.10 HAL is being used rather than Xorg.conf
To disable touchpad while typing do the following.
1. Enable SHM in HAL by placing shmconfig.fdi file onto /etc/hal/fdi/policy
2. Activate syndaemon on startup by placing syndaemon.desktop file onto
/etc/xdg/autostart

I don't think the fact that Adam never finds this a problem is
justification for closing it, certainly ... many people do indeed find
this to be a problem and laptop design is not universally ideal.

Wouldn't it create problems if the touchpad would be constantly turning
on and off? I think people should learn how to type without touching the
touchpad. I believe laptops are designed that way to make it possible.
Can't this bug be closed?

I can't imagine any possible problems - what problems are you thinking
of?
In my opinion it is also very difficult not to touch the touchpad. On
all the laptops I have seen the touchpad is directly below the keyboard,
which is the place where one naturally places the wrists when typing. I
don't
Touchpad is in the middle right between the wrists.. It never caused any
trouble to me and of course my wrists are not in the air.
I still don't think this is a good idea. I'm happy that my touchpad works I
don't wanna turn it off, maybe it won't turn back on.. Usually no hardware keep
turning
The touchpad is not turned off physically, the synaptic driver simply
doesn't translate the signals to mouse events anymore. It happens
completely in software, so it cannot affect the touchpad at all.

I don't know. Maybe you should add this idea to brainstorm. Let's see if

I barely ever use the touchpad on my laptop. The point now is this:
In Ubuntu, it happens within minutes after booting that the cursor
moves/drags to strange places while I type. Thank god most programs have
an undo function! At that point I turn off the touchpad via a hotkey.
Under Windows, I

This is excessively specific for the installer; I'd very much rather not
have it get into this sort of fine detail for particular items of
hardware when fundamentally xorg's default configuration should just be
better, and/or the synaptics driver should be improved to allow it to be
better. I

Actually, it may be an X11 problem, since according to bug #37234 this
allows anyone to change the touchpad settings, not only the user logged
in X11. But it might still be reasonable to at least ask for this during
installation.
