Okay, some hints to disable the touchpad: 1/ Under X, it can be easily toggled off with "synclient TouchpadOff=1" 2/ With X loaded, I think you'll have to use "gpm" functionalities. There are some settings you can tweak listed at "/usr/share/doc/gpm/ README.synaptics.gz". > > Well, finally I should mention that the Fn key should be a toggle > button.

Ufff, that's too much, I mean, making a toggleable button featuring multiple states :-P > The Fn has no software keycode on it's own, it's hard-coded, so when I > used showkey -s the output was only keycode 191. Any suggestions? What > utils should I use? To pair a function key with a preset action it could be useful the set of loadkeys/showkey/dumpkeys utilities (sorry that I can't be more precise, I never had to configure this).
