Disable Touchpad of Logitech TK820 on Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
How can I disable only the touchpad of the TK820 (Combination multi-gesture touchpad and keyboard)? I only could achieve disabling the complete input device. Any help or point in a direction is much appreciated. Its useless for me otherwise since I planned to put a normal mouse where the touchpad is. (Which works quite well for me)

edit 2:
with evtest I saw, that the type of input read from evtest for the touchpad is always type 2. perhaps there is a way to ignore inputs of such type?

If you want to disable "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint", just run in terminal
xinput disable 15
To make it permanent you can run this command as an "Automatically started application".
There are some other ways to automatically run this command at session start, but IMHO this is the easiest one.
As a workaround, I did the following to diasble the button/click of the touchpad. Not the cursor movements, only the click.
xinput set-button-map 9 "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
Where 9
is the ID of the device, found with xinput list
, and the number of buttons is found with xinput list 9
. to enable the buttons again:
xinput set-button-map 9 "1 2 3 4 5 ... 22 23 23"
