Hello, under debian7 I was using gpoint.... to temporarily deactivate touchpad. My acer laptop drives me crazy, after a while the pointer is running wild. I hoped that this would not happen in debian8, but maybe it is a hardware failure, so I have to live/deal with it. thanks Bernd
use the command synclient TouchPadOff=1 to turn it off
