The best way to disable touchpad in Ubuntu

[Ioannis Vranos]

I had previously disabled the touchpad system-wide by creating the
following file:


/etc/hal/fdi/policy/touchpad.fdi:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
 <device>
  <match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
   <merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">1</merge>
  </match>
 </device>
</deviceinfo



You may try that.
