<title>Disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged-in</title>
<p>
There is currently no simple way of having your touchpad automatically
disabled when a mouse is plugged in.
</p>
<code>
gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/touchpad_enabled -t bool True
gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/touchpad_enabled -t bool False
ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", ACTION=="add", RUN+="synclient touchpadoff=1"
ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="synclient touchpadoff=0"
