SOLUTION: place an executable script inside /root/Startup, which runs the command

Code: Select all

syndaemon -d -i 1

.

.
There are other options you can put in the command script.

Usage: syndaemon [-i idle-time] [-m poll-delay] [-d] [-t] [-k]
-i How many seconds to wait after the last key press before
enabling the touchpad. (default is 2.0s)
-m How many milli-seconds to wait until next poll.
(default is 200ms)
-d Start as a daemon, i.e. in the background.
-p Create a pid file with the specified name.
-t Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements.
-k Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity.
-K Like -k but also ignore Modifier+Key combos.
-R Use the XRecord extension.
-v Print diagnostic messages.
-? Show this help message.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
