Re: Can sonypi disable the touchpad?

On my Z505s, this has always been a problem, and disabling the tapping
feature (where touching the pad == a button press) has always been a
required feature for me to be able to live with the machine.  Otherwise,
my thumbs will randomly touch the keypad and drive me insane...

I am pretty sure that I never get gratuitous events, but the keypad is
right where your thumbs can touch it accidentally if you touch-type.
