@Christopher, On Thinkpad T450s, there is only one trackpad device in xinput, and it's a PS/2 device. So, Thinkpad T450s does not need this workaround solution. The workaround solution is to block the PS/2 trackpad device. That's why the workaround solution make your trackpad lost function. I think I need add more condition in the workaround package.
I borrowed a thinkpad X250, the xinput is similar with yours beside the Wacom Bamboo 2FG and the touchscreen. When I am typing, the 'tap to click' is disabled. So, I won't be interrupt by palm when I typing. For your case, I have no idea what causes the "disable tap while typing" function fail. Another thing, the "disable touchpad while typing" option is removed. Currently, the actual behavior is "disable 'tap to click' while typing". I think this behavior make sense, i.e. Some gamers will use both the keyboard and the touchpad at the same time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351772 Title: "disable touchpad while typing" doesn't work Status in OEM Priority Project: Triaged Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When selecting "disable while typing" under the touchpad section of the "Mouse & Touchpad" preferences, nothing changes, the touchpad stays active while typing. I can rapidly type multiple characters with my left hand and continue to move the cursor with the touchpad with my right hand. I can see from my processlist that syndaemon is running with the following options: 2185 ? S 1:31 | \_ syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R First, the -t option isn't what's expected with this setting, it should disable the touchpad entirely. Also, it doesn't seem to even do that correctly, as I can definitely click the touchpad while typing as well as moving the cursor.
