I have a strange issue with the touchpad in my lenovo thinkpad r500. I have disabled it using
synclient TouchpadOff=1
in the console but when I use the trackpoint (for instance the middle mouse button for scrolling) and touch the touchpad at the same time with the palm of my hand the mouse pointer starts going crazy plus it wildly opens new tabs and pastes text that i copied before... It basically acts like im pressing a lot of key combinations at the same time.
Does anybody have the same problem or know why the touchpad reacts to being touched at all (since it should be disabled and doesn't do anything when I touch it without using the trackpoint)?
Thanks for your help.
