Does this work with the regular desktop edition too. I have seen many people use the desktop edition and have the same issue.
suggestion :- if possible show the preceding screenshots as well so people know what to look for. Sometimes it is easier.

Can you disable in 9.10? It only appears to let you disable while typing. I’d like to turn mine right off because I use a mouse and I always touch pad while typing. It is very frustrating…

In version 10.04 there is no option to disable touchpad completely, only while typing. I think they should add it back. I hate my touchpad, I use a real mouse.

That’s why I love Ubuntu. It’s so user-friendly and easy to use even if you’re not a pro.
