Disable touchpad while typing
I realized that the touchpad wasn't turned off when typing, even if set as disable in system configuration — mouse > touchpad > option menu. If you're using mate, type: mate-mouse-porperties
Using xinput command at terminal:
Only one TouchPad
But typing:
dmesg | grep -i touchpad
Two TouchPads
So, to fix this duplicated touchpad, add an section on the file:
/usr/share/X11/xorg-conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Section “InputClass”
Identifier “Removendo touchpad duplicados”
MatchProduct “SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad”
Option “Ignore” “on”
EndSection
Restart the user session and it's done.
