Anyone know how to turn off the touchpad on my newish HP laptop? The X synaptics tool doesn't do it.

You need to identify the id-number of the touchpad first.
Steps: 1. at the command prompt, use:
xinput list
Example output:
xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Razer Razer Ornata Chroma id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Razer Razer Ornata Chroma id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech K330 id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech M215 2nd Gen id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Razer Razer Ornata Chroma id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ UVC Camera (046d:0825) id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Razer Razer Ornata Chroma id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Logitech K330 id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]
From the output, determine the id of your device.

Yes, that works. Thank you. Should I put that into my .bashrc, or will it be remembered across logout/ins?

Yes, that works. Thank you. Should I put that into my .bashrc, or will it be remembered across logout/ins?
~/.xsessionrc would be the right place.

In case James doesn't get back to you soon...
A quick experiment will probably show you that it will not be remembered across logout / logins.
Yes, if you put that command into your .bashrc (assuming you use bash) you should be good to go.

I made a bash script for the laptop i did this for a while back and plonked it into ~/.trinity/Autostart.
(Executable text file)
"~" means home directory.
For the lay person.

There seem to be multiple ways of making this work. I tried the .xsessionrc method, and I'm happy with that.

.xsession is executed once at Xorg session start, .bashrc is executed every time you start a bash for your user, interactive or not, in an Xorg environment or not - which could have funny effects :)
