[TriLUG] @#$@#! Laptop Trackpad.

[Bill Vinson]

I know this sort of thing is possible, but I don't know how to do it.  I 
know my laptop (Mac OS X) has the option of turning off tap-click as 
well as temporarily disabling the trackpad while typing to prevent 
accidental clicks and moves.  I am sure Linux could do this to, but 
where to start asking the questions?
