The python scripts of bricedebrignaisplage and Jim Ramsay didn't work
for me. I was not in the mood for troubleshooting (I'm sure the problem
is not with the scripts, but rather with my installation of python or
something!), so I wrote a short script to toggle the touchpad on and
off:
#!/bin/bash
# toggle touchpad on/off using xinput
# get device id
ID=$(xinput -list | grep GlidePoint | awk '{ print substr($6,4,2) }')
#echo "ID = $ID"
# read state of device
STATE=$(xinput -list-props $ID | grep 'Device Enabled' | awk '{ print $4 }')
#echo "STATE = $STATE"
# change to other state
if [ $STATE = 0 ]; then
# echo "switching touchpad on"
xinput set-int-prop $ID "Device Enabled" 8 1
elif [ $STATE = 1 ]; then
# echo "switching touchpad off"
xinput set-int-prop $ID "Device Enabled" 8 0
else
echo "Error!"
fi
exit 0
