how I can disable the touchpad when typing?
im using sabayon 8 with kde

Do you have the package x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics installed? If you do, try this experiment. Open a Konsole window and enter the following command:

Code: Select all

syndaemon

Now see if your touchpad is disabled while you type.

If that does the trick, to make it stick every time you reboot, create a two-line Bash script named ~/.kde4/Autostart/syndaemon that consists of the following:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
syndaemon

and make the script executable:

Code: Select all

chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/syndaemon

If you still want modifier keys (e.g. Ctrl and Alt) to work while moving your mouse, make the second line of the file "syndaemon -k" instead of "syndaemon".

Use the command man syndaemon to find out how to change the idle time (the time to wait after a key press before the touch pad is enabled again), etc.

All the above are done under your own user account.
