Description Glenn Johnson 2010-02-05 08:55:01 UTC 
I want to turn the touchpad off once and never have to make the change again. Currently, I turn the touchpad off and all is well until I reboot. At this point, the touchpad is on again. I'd like this selection to be permanent. Once I turn it off it should never again be seen or heard.

Do you use GNOME and check "Disable touchpad while typing" option on mouse preferences?

Hiroyuki, since I'm maintainer for the Fedora package feel free to ask me any other you may need to diagnose this issue.
