I have a USB mouse and I want to disable my touchpad.

I am going to resend my post, I had originally posted to
"freebsd-hardware" but now I am going to post to
"freebsd-hackers"

Unfortunately those settings are already specified in /e

If you look in the /usr/ports/x11-drivers/synaptics/pkg-message it's all
already there


I had the same problem, but finally happened on this solution:
despite what the pkg-message says, in xorg.conf you have to specify
both a non-existent mouse and the touchpad, in addition to following
all the other pkg-message directions.  So, my xorg.conf has:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "Synaptics_Touchpad" "CorePointer"
EndSection

### Note that touchpad MUST be CorePointer and non-existent mouse must
be AlwaysCore ###

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier    "Synaptics_Touchpad"
  Driver        "synaptics"
  Option        "SendCoreEvents"
  Option        "Device"      "/dev/psm0"
  Option        "Protocol"    "psm"
  Option        "TouchpadOff"   "0"
  Option        "LeftEdge"      "1700"
  Option        "RightEdge"     "5300"
  Option        "TopEdge"       "1700"
  Option        "BottomEdge"    "4200"
  Option        "FingerLow"   "25"
  Option        "FingerHigh"  "30"
  Option        "MaxTapTime"  "180"
  Option        "MaxTapMove"  "220"
  Option        "VertScrollDelta" "100"
  Option        "MinSpeed"    "0.06"
  Option        "MaxSpeed"    "0.06"
  Option        "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
  Option        "HorizScrollDelta"    "100"
  Option        "UpDownScrolling"       "on"
  Option        "UpDownRepeat"          "on"
  Option        "LeftRightScrolling"    "on"
  Option        "LeftRightRepeat"       "on"
  Option        "SHMConfig"   "on"
EndSection

Good luck!

Doesn't work, sorry. The server starts, but the mouse pointer isn't moving.

Anyway I'm not sure this is the right way to do thinks. I'd dearly like to listen from
the maintainer, maybe it can shed some light on the /dev/input/event issue...
