My synaptics touchpad is working even though it's not in xorg.conf.
The only input devices there are the keyboard and the mouse. How can I
disable it? I tried adding it, restarting xorg and then use synclient
to disable it but it looks like the Synaptics section in xorg.conf is
not detected.

How can I disable the touchpad? I don't need it.


Doesnt disabling it from the keyboard work ? Function key + F?
key (fn+F7 on my laptop)
