Hi i think if you use the cmd key and rotate 2 fingers in an anti clock wise direction on the track pad, it'll be turned off. I got that from sdudying the voiceover guide.

Subject: turning off trackpad on macbooks


Hi list,

Is there a way to turn off the trackpad entirely, while using a macbook or macbook pro with Lion? When accidentally touching it, even when I am in VmWare fusion inside windows, a whooshing sound may be heard, which means I am in dash board. Of course, you can turn that off, but is there a way to have the trackpad not react to me when I accidentally touch it? I know you can turn on mouse keys, but that is not really a solution. Having an external mouse or trackpad can be done as well, but I'm hoping to find how to just turn off the internal laptop trackpad. Any ideas?

Paul.
