I have 9front installed on a Lenovo N580 laptop and am using a USB mouse.  However, the touchpad is killing me.  How can I disable the touchpad so only the mouse moves?

Cherry dropped the ball on the Yeeloong (I can see why, no hard feelings) and that was my most recent hope. That said, the "bios" answer prompts me to ask: Can neither Plan 9 nor 9front reach into BIOS space and perform the functions from user/kernel space? I cut my teeth on the fully documented IBM XT BIOS and I find it hard to believe that today's technology has managed to shuttered all those doorways. Just curious. doing it in Plan 9 would really give me a warm feeling... Lucio.

I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I do remember wishing I could have different settings for different pointing devices on the same laptop. At the time, I had a bunch of Kensington mice which defaulted to some ridiculously overpowered DPI setting in Linux, FreeBSD, and Plan 9, (but not Windows or Mac,) but Plan 9 had no way to adjust them separately to the trackpoint. It doesn't matter so much now most mice have a DPI button, but per-device settings could also allow individual devices to be set as ignored. -- The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. -- Chaucer From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: References: <871919239.640150.1537385688610.ref@mail.yahoo.com> <871919239.640150.1537385688610@mail.yahoo.com> From: Lucio De Re Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 14:18:48 +0200 Message-ID: To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@9fans.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Subject: Re: [9fans] Touchpad Topicbox-Message-UUID: e377e640-ead9-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 On 9/20/18, hiro <23hiro@gmail.com> wrote: > doing it in plan 9 would be a waste of time.
