I am not sure whether it was mentioned but trackpad and a external

Hey sabdfl,
Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of

What just happened? Why is this bug now marked as incomplete? It's

I'm experiencing the same frustration with this bug. Needless to say,

much more important
I'm getting the same error (touching the touchpad = mouse going crazy -

My 2 pennyworth:
Wishing to extend the time syndaemon disables the touchpad, I configured a
'startup application' consisting of syndaemon -i 2 -d -K -t . The option to
'disable the mouse when typing' (in the mouse settings) was still checked, and
as soon as I started typing, the cursor froze.
Just throwing it out there .. reloading the psmouse drive a couple of
times fixed the issue for me on my end. I don't know if that's a
probable solution though. Hope to see this fixed soon.
