A simple way to disable the touchpad is to add this line:

rmmod psmouse

to the end of rc.local.

If you do want to enable it to try a new configuration you can comment that line out and reboot.

I have a zepto znote 3215W with an elantech touchpad. The synaptics driver is used to drive it.
It still is super sensitive running Ubuntu 8.04

Otherwise it works as expected. Still useless because of tapping problem.

SHMConfig optin does not work.
MaxTapTime 0 does not work.
I will try the xfree86 driver and see what that does.
