How to disable your touchpad in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)

Today i found myself in the need to disable my laptop touchpad after ruining for various times my work by touching and taping it involuntarily with my arms while typing. So i googled it!

After finding some solutions over the net, which don't work now with the new xorg because of the almost empty xorg.conf, due to the great autodetection mechanism now implemented :) , i've found this excelent post in the ubuntu forums.

After following this post i just installed gsynaptics from the repositories and searched for the option to disable the touchpad, it was piece of cake!

The big bonus on this was that the enable/disable touchpad button in my laptop now works like a charm :)
