I have been doing something similar on my laptop. A script that toggles
containing the command:

xinput --disable 13

Where 13 is the xid of the TouchPad.  Now that i have upgraded to 20.04,
this no longer works.  In fact the command typed in a terminal doesn't
work. Neither does it work formulated as Volcker suggests, using the exact
device name as shown by:

$xinput --list-props 13

Any thoughts?
