I have an annoying setup where on the laptop the slightest movement causes the touchpad to go crazy.
I just want to disbale touchpad while typing. On boot up Bunsenlabs standard configuration in autostart does not work every boot up.
I correctly was told on the forum to
edit autostart and comment out the command
## synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 HorizEdgeScroll=1 TapButton1=1 2>/dev/null
and comment out
## Disable touchpad while typing
## syndaemon -i 1 -K -t -R -d &
then in terminal
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo geany /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
edit to have:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-t … rrors.html
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "0"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "0"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "1"
EndSection
The problem is that whilst all the options VertEdgeScroll, HorizEdgeScroll, TapButton1, VertTwoFingerScroll,HorizTwoFingerScroll work.
The problem is DisableWhileTyping does notnwork, also :
Option "PalmDetect" "1"
does not work too.
So the only method that works is to set :
Option "TapButton1" "0"
This does work.
Any help would be apprciated.

Have you tried touchpad-indicator? http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/t/t … indicator/

not all touchpads (drivers) implement all features i believe.
is this even a synaptics touchpad?
https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchp … f_Touchpad
on the laptop the slightest movement causes the touchpad to go crazy.
movement of what? your hands on the keyboard? the laptop itself?
sounds like there's something wrong with your hardware.
PS: some info about the laptop please.

Ohnonot, you are completely right.
is this even a synaptics touchpad? It appears to be Elantech
so i ran in terminal:
grep -i pad /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="ELAN1200:00 04F3:3022 Touchpad"
It is a ASUS Zenbook Flip UX360UA-DQ143T. I then did:
xinput list
which results:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN1200:00 04F3:3022 Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

please use the instructions from debian wiki to determine whether this is a synaptics (compatible) touchpad or not.
What should i do disable touchpad whilst typing?
syndaemon -i 1 -K -t -R -d &
???
edit: try that command in a terminal; if the touchpad is not compatible, it should tell you.

@pamir, you've been posting "Help & Support" threads in the "Development & Suggestions" forum. That forum is for discussing and developing our next major release (lithium, based on buster) as well as improvements to the current helium release.
Kindly post Help issues to the Help forum. Thanks.
-mod hhh- moving to "Basic Help & Support"
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

sorry to bump this, but I have same issue. followed all the steps I could find - the syndaemon -i 1 -K -t -r -d & in autostart has been uncommented from scratch, I have added the 70-synaptics.conf with
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-t … rrors.html
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "0"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "0"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "1"
EndSection
and I have verified I have Synaptics touchpad:
albert@albertbl:~$ grep -i pad /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
N: Name="ThinkPad Extra Buttons"
P: Phys=thinkpad_acpi/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/input/input12
and touchpad still registers clicks when I am typing and moves around.
what should be my next step? I am tempted to go touchpad indicator but would like to learn a bit more about linux and not just use ready to go products.
Thanks
I don't have patience or skill to dig deep enough every time system breaks itself or when I break something because of lack of patience and skill.
