Many thanks. I'll work through that - bit by bit (It's years since I did
techie work).

If you then run
xev
you get information about hardware that might move the mouse pointer.
Perhaps the hardware is broken. I guess that assumed the software should be
fishy, it won't display something, when the mouse pointer moves, but this
not necessarily is ensured, so better disable the mouse pad and connect an
external mouse for testing purpose.
Run
xinput --list
and then
xinput disable NUMBER_OF_THE_TOUCHPAD
An example, since I don't have a touchpad, I show how to disablen and
enable my optical mouse.
xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical Mouse id=8 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave
keyboard (3)]
To disable the mouse I need to run
xinput disable 8
and to enable it
xinput enable 8

Ralf
