Did you finally determine that > it cannot be turned off in the BIOS? That is affirmative. The BIOS makes not reference to it (nor to much else). But synclient TouchpadOff=1 is easy enough, and if I wanted to shut it off all the time, I could just add that to the startup stuff. However would be nice to enable the function key toggle, and to understand why (or how) Xfce manages to break that one function key. -Denis _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
