Disable Toshiba's Z30 Accupoint on Linux via xinput
Follow these instructions to disable the (sometime strange behaving) Accupoint:
Install xinput
apt-get install xinput
Find the device
$ xinput | grep "PS/2"
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ALPS PS/2 Device id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint
(ID 11
) is the touchpad which works fine.
ALPS PS/2 Device
(ID 12
) is the Accupoint which I want to disable.
Disable the device during xorg start
$ cat >> $HOME/.xsessionrc <<EOF
xinput disable "ALPS PS/2 Device"
EOF
Restart xorg
The small, blue Accupoint should be disabled.
Profit
No more ghost mouse pointer moves. \o/
