Hello everyone ....
and special thanks to J. Fahrner for pointig me in the right direction.
Doing a lot of scripting myself I wondered what his script would come up
with. So I just tried.
xinput list gave me:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ eGalax Inc. eGalaxTouch EXC3000-0166-29.00.00 id=10 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910) id=11 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech Optical USB Mouse id=13 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910) id=12 [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)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam id=14 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=15 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Raw Set 2 keyboard id=16 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910) id=17 [slave
keyboard (3)]
which told me that the *grep* would have failed but I tried to issue the
necessary commands manually.
Finally xinput set-prop *12* "Device Enabled" 0 did what I wanted to
achieve. When I found out that this was only valid for the current
session I just put the command in a shell script which is called from my
~/.xinitrc.
You see: I don't really know what I'm doing:-D. Things probably can be
done more elegantly but he touchpad doesn't get in my way anymore.
(Did I reply correctly? If not please give me hints on what I could do
better. Special markup for snippets of code?)
Thank you.
Karl.
