Bug#451708: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: Option GuestMouseOff true not working
Mattia, this problem is still annoying me. If I use default settings, all pointing devices become unusable because the trackpoint pushes the pointer to the edge of the screen and over-rides all mouse movement. I can't disable it in BIOS. I can't disable it with the guestMouseOff option to the synaptics driver I can only disable it as long as I do not use /dev/input/mice Since I want my external USB mouse to work, I specifically add an entry for that, using /dev/input/mouse2 However, this means I lose the advantages of /dev/input/mice, which is dynamic reconfiguration if I plug the USB mouse in and out. I've looked in the source code of synaptics.c and it seems that the use of guestMouseOff is very high level. It doesn't really disable the stick, it just ignores it. Do you know a way to disable a hardware device (like you can in the Windows XP Device Manager)? and instead I point specifically to the /dev/input/mouse0 and On Sun, 2007-11-18 at 12:57 +0900, Mattia Dongili wrote: On Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 10:58:26PM +0100, Tim Richardson wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-1 Severity: normal Option GuestMouseOff true appears to not work for me.

In my opinion, the stick should be disabled. The Windows control panel for Synaptic touchpads has this option; when selected, the stick no longer moves the mouse. I expect the same behaviour. It seems that the stick gets its own /dev/input/mouse* device when the machine is booting. Perhaps when the display manager starts and xorg.conf is parsed, the device should be unplugged. Can I unplug a USB device virtually? as for the bug, I see no evidence that the stick is being affected at all by the use of GuestMouseOff true. regards, Tim On Sun, 2007-11-18 at 12:57 +0900, Mattia Dongili wrote: On Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 10:58:26PM +0100, Tim Richardson wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-1 Severity: normal Option GuestMouseOff true appears to not work for me.
