Comment 69 for bug 512192

I would really appreciate some up-to-date info on this. I have played around with just about every on-line tutorial there is. I'm now worried that because I've played around so much, that I've damaged the netbookieness of my Ubuntu Netbook Remix. There are so many mouse oriented programs on my computer now that I don't know what to do.

Why is it this difficult to get features which claim to disable the touchpad while typing to work when they have been included in the release of Ubuntu? I mean, there should be some sort of way to trick a mouse to work with the touchpad device, or decrease sensitivity right?

Core features like this need to work. I assure you that productive work on my new netbook is nearly impossible without disabling the touchpad while typing. Every time I try to touch the keyboard's space bar it sends a mouse click event to the screen which may or may not highlight and delete all information which I just typed.

Currently, I am typing this from my netbook. I have had to retype 5 lines out of this because the touchpad driver is not working properly.

Any fixes would be greatly appreciated. I have a HP N214 netbook. Please let me know what I can do to help with this ongoing issue.
