touchpad

Does anyone knows how to disable touchpad ?
( the pc is a netbook ( Acer Aspire One ) )
Tried with “Fn” + “F7” and it does works, but at reboot
it is again active.

I haven’t tried this but the obvious place to look is YaST>Peripherals.

Often there’s a BIOS setting to disable the touchpad completely. Else try disabling it using sax2, or comment the corresponding lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

ok it seems I solved. There is no option in bios about touchpad
Put :
‘synclient TouchpadOff=1’
in my fluxbox startup script
