OK, here's a trivial patch (linux-2.4.18) for disabling/ignoring
the mouse/trackpad while typing. It can be very convenient on notebook
computers.
NOTE: this patch works only on machines using the 'new' input layer
(e.g. Apple Powerbook, ibook, ...)
The holdoff time can be adjusted via sysctl/procfs - see description
in the patch file.
It's a very nice idea, but I'd prefer this to be handled somewhere
higher than the IDE code, preferably in X ...
Well... the problem happpens in console as well, and with other
non-X apps like MacOnLinux. Some Apple PowerBooks have over-sensitive
trackpad. Apple themselves implement a similar mecanism in the kernel
driver of OS X.
Mine is one of those machines. I have to turn off gpm for sure, and X is
quite oversensitive too (tuned it in KDE, but still this functionality would
be very nice).
