Re: touchpad
I'm not sure I understand your problem but I did have some touchpad issues before and was able to get desired results from xinput. My problem was I couldn't turn the touchpad off because kwin wasn't picking up synaptic. xinput allows you to turn off or on just about anything detected by X.
