hi,

I use the Fn+F1 and FN+F2 keys for disabling/enabling the touchpad. Here
are the files located in: /etc/acpi/events

#FN+F1 for disabling
events # cat touchpad-off=20
event=3Dibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001001
action=3D/etc/acpi/actions/

#FN+F2 for enabling
events # cat touchpad-on=20
event=3Dibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001002
action=3D/etc/acpi/actions/touchpad-on.sh

You need to run the following command to enable all the FN+F1..F12 keys
for use:
echo "0xFFFF,enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey


For those who wants to disable/enable the touchpad as I do, here are the
commands:
synclient TouchpadOff=3D1  # disable
synclient TouchpadOff=3D0  # enable

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
