Description Diogo Santos 2008-07-17 12:38:42 UTC 
Many people prefer to use an USB mouse on their laptops, but the touchpad continue activated when using the USB mouse. Manually people can disable the touchpad, but like me sometime I need the touchpad and sometimes I have a space to use the USB mouse. Although, everytime I have to change it manually. 
A mark box that permits the user to activated the automatic recognition would be a great improve. If the user mark this box, for example, everytime that the user plug the USB mouse the touchoud will automatically disabled.

Touchpad is currently not supported by upstream at all. It's a distro extension.
