Hi, I am using a Lenovo Z61m ThinkPmd. It has a "track point" as well as the "touch pad".
In Vista I was able to turn off the touch pad as I prefer to use the track point.
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (which lo and behold found my wireless router).
I was wondering if anybody found a way of disabling the touch pad?
Thanks, I should have found this myself, but I just could not believe it could be so simple. I am switching from Kubuntu to Ubuntu and I am not used to this simple, sasy to use user interface.
Thanks again

Weird, everyone says Windoze users migrate easier to KDE... (Something I always thought was hogwash)..
I did when I gave up on Fedora. I do programming with Qt, which is the source for KDE and their downloads, is structured for it, but when Kubuntu came out with 8.10 which uses KDE 4, I decided to look at Ubuntu 8.10 and was very impressed, but had, or am having, difficulty installing all the parts of Qt. I do have a working installation, however, thanks to a gentleman on one of these LQ's forums.
