dell alienware 13. disable touchpad
Hi guys,
Windows touchpads really bad. And after using thinkpads trackpoint I just can't handle this horrible touchpad. Desperately looking for the way how to disable it.
My Fn+F11 [T-PAD] does not work.
I tried to disable Synaptic driver, but that does now work too.
Looked in BIOS, it does not have this option.
Maybe someone has any advice to give?
Thanks,
Ivan.

Hi,
To better assist you, please confirm which Windows operating system you are using with your Alienware.

Also, on Windows control panel it does have option to disable touchpad, only to make delay longer, which is not helping in any way.

Currently in the options of Input devices I only have:
PS/2 Mouse pointing device. No touchpad, no touchscreen driver.
As I understand MS Windows standard drivers are handling this? Can I get to them somehow?

Looked over all Device Manager utility. Can't find the driver, which is responsible for it to work.

Hi,
Open the Settings app, go to Devices and then click Mouse & touchpad. Confirm if you show an option for Touchpad with an ON and OFF switch.

Rodrigo,
No, I don't have such an option. The only option that relates to touchpad is touchpad delay.
