I want to disable the touchpad while I type on my Aspire one netbook. If I issue the command syndaemon the synaptics driver is not detected:
Unable to find a synaptics device
So, I added the following to my xorg.conf file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
EndSection
It is still unable to find a synaptics device, however my touchpad works fine.
