Probably -- but knowing whether it is Lubuntu-specific vs all Ubuntu-flavours will probably change who needs to do the work! > BY THE WAY, I'm having even harder time when I type, grrrrrrrrrrr, I > have mentioned that before, I do blind typing.

Sounds like your hand position is such that your palm(s) often touch the touchpad unintentionally, while you type. If you can change the angle you hold your hands at a little, to avoid that, it could help a lot. Researching this a bit, I see that there is also something called "palm detection" in some touchpad drivers which is designed to help with this exact issue. I don't know much about it except that it exists, and that if your touchpad driver supports it, you can probably configure it by installing the package gpointing-device-settings and running the command gpointing-device-settings & Installing this and its associated library takes relatively little space, so try it, and see if it helps you. There is a blog where someone reports it helped them a lot, at http://ken-mcconnell.com/2012/07/22/trackpad-sensitivity-in-ubuntu-on-dell-xps-13/ but that is on a specific Dell machine, so I don't know if you will get similar results on your machines. I am not sure if the Lubuntu lxinput utility knows about "palm detection" and how to configure it. If not, that might be worth requesting as an enhancement.
