I don't know udev details but a udev script triggered when the mouse is plugged in seems reasonable to me. I am sure the synclient would be useful in that script. apt-cache show xserver-xorg-input-synaptics man synclient synclient TouchpadOff=1 synclient TouchpadOff=0 I find the syndaemon an indispensable tool on my laptop. It isn't what you are asking about but seems related. Might be useful to know about anyway. syndaemon -i 1 -K -d Bob
