If you can't get syndaemon to turn off touchpad while typing, I don't really know what to suggest; still, you might find one of other solutions from last mail acceptable (binding to some key launch of "touchpad on/off" script which uses xinput or gconftool, whichever works).. Btw, out of curiousity, did you check if fdi catched by system/works? Like, try putting some obvious option there from synaptic(4) manpage to check if it has effect. -- Vladimir
