Various Laptop things that still need tweaking in Ubuntu

Enabling touchpad locking through Fn+Fxx keys

  • Assume keysequence to be Fn+F12
  • Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the following option to the synaptics driver section

    • Option      "SHMConfig"         "1"

  • Check that the following command works

    • synclient -l

  • Use the following command to disable the touchpad

    • synclient TouchpadOff=1

  • ...and to re-enable it, use

    • synclient TouchpadOff=0

  • Now to hookup the Fn+F12 keycode to this action. It will require a script to keep track of the current state of the touchpad.
