disable alps touchpad ubuntu 11.10

If you have an Alps touchpad and cannot use the "normal" settings for synaptics and the setup believes that your touchpad is a mouse. Install touchfreeze and replace synclient with

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# != 1 ]

then

echo nothing

else

if [ $1 = "TouchpadOff=0" ]

then

xinput --set-prop "ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" "Device Enabled" 1

fi

if [ $1 = "TouchpadOff=2" ]

then

xinput --set-prop "ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" "Device Enabled" 0

fi

fi

Change depening on what your xlist says

This works by touchfreeze calls synclient to disable touchpad. Synclient isn't working because you don't have a synaptics touchpad...
