User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build Identifier: On a dell inspiron 13 7000, I had set the touchpad config (in KDE control module) to turn the touchpad off whenever an external mouse is connected. However, this didn't seem to have an effect despite receiving a notification saying "Touchpad was disabled because a mouse was plugged in.". Initially submitted this as a question in the forums where it was suggested I try the "synclient" command to manually turn off the touchpad: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/512298-Disable-Dell-touchpad-on-external-mouse-plug-in Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run synclient TouchpadOff=1 Actual Results: Touchpad still works. Expected Results: Touchpad should turn off.
