Hey folks, I have an el cheapo laptop that I purchased recently, that I run snapshots on. It's a Compaq Presario V2405US.
The problem I have is with the touchpad - it is hyper-sensitive, and my hand brushing the edges of it as I type scrolls my xterms up and down wildly. I try to keep my hands away from it, but it's just inevitable. Most of the time, I don't even use the touchpad - I prefer to use my little mini USB mouse instead, when I have the room. I checked the mailing list archives, xset(1), sysctl(8), the FAQ, and /usr/X11R6/README, but I didn't find any methods to either disable the touchpad or to reduce its sensitivity. I run X without an xorg.conf file, as it autodetects everything fine. Am I missing the obvious? Is there a way to disable the touchpad or reduce its sensitivity? Thanks much!
