If not, type in a terminal:<br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics</span><br /><br />Make sure the file <span style="font-style: italic;">/etc/X11/xorg.conf</span> presents the following string:<br /><span class="centro"><span class="T3ne"><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Option "SHMConfig" "on"</span></span></span><br /><br />To disable the touchpad, type in a terminal:<br /><br /><span class="centro"><span class="T3ne"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">synclient TouchpadOff=1</span><br /><br /></span></span>The touchpad will be locked until you type:<br /><br /><span class="centro"><span class="T3ne"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">synclient TouchpadOff=0</span><br /><br />Good, but </span></span> it's boring repeat these commands every time. Fortunately, we have "<span class="centro"><span class="T3ne">syndaemon" that, with some </span></span><span onclick="dr4sdgryt(event)">parameters, blocks the touchpad for a lapse of time.<br />For example with this command:<br /><br /></span><span class="centro"><span class="T3ne"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">syndaemon -i 3.0</span><br /><br />the touchpad </span></span>freezes for 3 seconds.<br /><br />Nice tools :D<br /><br /><a href="http://nudge.netsons.org/node/72">Source.</a><br /><br /><br /><span class="centro"><span class="T3ne"></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5362899714190764103-1337388755791260940?l=hattory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hattoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04236563751205279962noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362899714190764103.post-77649133096746838432008-03-15T00:25:00.004+01:002008-03-15T01:44:38.611+01:002008-03-15T01:44:38.611+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Sun_UltraSPARCII.jpg/300px-Sun_UltraSPARCII.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 176px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Sun_UltraSPARCII.jpg/300px-Sun_UltraSPARCII.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Since the release of issue 6.06, Ubuntu has supported the Sun architecture, in addition to the i386 and amd64 architectures.<br />As you can see from <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html">this announcement</a> of Technical Board, the next LTS release of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ubuntu 8.04</span> "Hardy Heron" will arrive without any support for Sun's processors.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5362899714190764103-7764913309674683843?l=hattory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hattoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04236563751205279962noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362899714190764103.post-63350520985514060162008-03-14T12:10:00.006+01:002008-03-14T18:12:10.316+01:002008-03-14T18:12:10.316+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.gnome.org/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 373px; height: 173px;" src="http://www.gnome.org/img/flash/two-twenty-two.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hi all...
