I have downloaded synaptiks using synaptic package manager. It shows
up as "installed" but it doesn't show on any menu, and I have no idea
how to run it. (It disables the scratchpad when an external mouse is
connected. This is much better than the default mode which only
disables the scratchpad while you are typing.)

* Disable tapping and scrolling
* Disable while any other devices are connect.

Try with the GNOME settings first or by using "gpointing-device-settings"
app), the option you are looking for should be present and tweakeable.

Greetings,

Thank you for this. It works almost as well as synaptiks,
and will certainly fit my requirements. (It is not quite as
automatic as synaptiks.)

Replying to my own message: I installed the program, it seems to work for a little while,
and then it forgets, and goes back to using both the scratchpad and the mouse at
once. Comments?
