Hi folks,

I thought this might be useful to some of you out there who use laptops.

http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/03/howto-disable-touchpad-while-typing.html

Basically it it is instructions on how to disable the touchpad while
typing and how to tweak the settings of the touchpad.  The touchpad
being enabled while I type is one of the biggest things that annoys me
about my laptop, it just seems over sensitive that if I even look at the
touchpad it seems to click.  Anyway following this guide has finally
fixed this for me.  I can now type away to my hearts content without
having to worry about the cursor suddenly being clicked away.

By the way, if it helps, it mentions shmconfig.fdi and links to another
site, the contents of the file are below...

</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
