If I enable shared memory then "synclient -s TouchpadOff=1" disables the touchpad and "synclient -s TouchpadOff=0" enables it again. If I don't give the "-s" option to the synclient command, then the touchpad seems to ignore the setting I give it and stays enabled all the time.
This may be related to why syndaemon doesn't work anymore, as the -s option for that seems to have gone missing. It is in the man page but if I try to use it I get the command help. -- -| Bob Hauck -| http://www.haucks.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
