Re: udev rule for turn off touchpad when mouse is plugged in - not working

Did you try the udev rules from our wiki? :
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tou … _detection

Philosophy is looking for a black cat in a dark room. Metaphysics is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there. Religion is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there and shouting "I found it!". Science is looking for a black cat in a dark room with a flashlight.

Re: udev rule for turn off touchpad when mouse is plugged in - not working

i think its related to synclient's execution environment. i had this problem in the past...gave up trying...now i simply dodge the touchpad when i type.

Re: udev rule for turn off touchpad when mouse is plugged in - not working

Did you saved this output in a file and sourced it in your touchpadtoggle script?

Could you also redirect the output of synclient to a file, inside your script? This way, you might get a meaningful error message...

i did exactly this:
export -p > /home/dj/.bk

#!/bin/bash
. /home/dj/.bk
/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=$1

edit:

Re: udev rule for turn off touchpad when mouse is plugged in - not working

Try running 'xhost +local:root' in an xterm, then test it.  If it works, add that to your .xinitrc or equivalent.
