(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Good evening everyone, below a utility that serves to enable/disable the touchpad, that works with the synaptics driver, depending on the presence/absence of the mouse. It is based on an udev rule. I use it on Bionicpup64 but it should also work on the 32 bit version.

Edit: In the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-togglemouse.rules the ATTRS{idProduct} and ATTRS{idVendor} part must be adapted with the specifications of your mouse, that can be obtained with the command:.
Remember that the first part of the hexadecimal code represents the idVendor and the second part the idProduct.
Unfortunately, despite the various solutions proposed on the web, I could not find a way to adapt the udev rule to a generic mouse.

Greetings
