TouchFreeze
System Software
TouchFreeze docks in your system tray (KDE/Gnome) and disables button click events while typing.
It's similar to ksynaptics if you know that but more simple.
Differences:
[li]no configuration of the touch pad[/li]
[li]ksynaptics ranks high on powertop[/li]
[li]no additional dependencies but Qt4 [/li]
Please read http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net/index.html for more information!

start typing
Float properties not available.
stop typing
It does not deactivate the touchpad when writing.
when run as user it gives me the seg fault, which I see has been fixed in the latest release. But the other problem?I'm on 0.2.3 and 1.2.1 touchpad drivers, with latest Qt

run synclient TouchPadOff=1 to disable and 0 to reenable the touch pad
If it fails then you are suffering of a driver or configuration problem.

is it normal that thouchfreeze ranks as high in top? I get always 5 to 20 % CPU load from touchfreeze (on a quite fast Core 2 Duo)

as long as it keeps running until your logout, it will be restarted.
shouldnt that be the desired behaviour?
