[ubuntu-uk] Disable touchpad while typing

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

I thought this might be useful to some of you out there who use laptops.

http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/03/howto-disable-touchpad-while-typing.html

Basically it it is instructions on how to disable the touchpad while 
typing and how to tweak the settings of the touchpad.  The touchpad 
being enabled while I type is one of the biggest things that annoys me 
about my laptop, it just seems over sensitive that if I even look at the 
touchpad it seems to click.  Anyway following this guide has finally 
fixed this for me.  I can now type away to my hearts content without 
having to worry about the cursor suddenly being clicked away.

By the way, if it helps, it mentions shmconfig.fdi and links to another 
site, the contents of the file are below...
