And the first casualty is my accessory usb mouse, its dead and I am stuck with
that totally worthless scratchpad, which I swear picks up the local radio
station, its totally spastic if the hand isn't held so high above the keyboard
when typing that its strictly one finger typing.
Gene, I think if you look at System -> Hardware -> Mouse in F11, there
is a setting to disable the touchpad when typing. If you don't see
that, or if you use KDE and it doesn't offer that option, check out
syndaemon, which is the utility that accomplishes that. It's part of
the synaptics driver package.
