Package: touchfreeze Version: 0.2.3-1 Severity: important TouchFreeze does not disable the touchpad unless the X SHMConfig option is enabled. Since that option is not enabled by default, TouchFreeze "doesn't work" by default. This is well documented in README.Debian, the actual problem is that the interface (which is launched from the utilities menu) does not give any clue about this. When started in console, it whines:
$ touchfreeze SynDaemon::SynDaemon set daemon true set pad true using typing delay of 500 ms "/usr/bin/synclient" initial state is TouchpadOff= 0 dstart typing Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? stop typing Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? dstart typing Can't access shared memory area.
