Disable Touchpad in config.sys. AMOUSE ?
« on: August 01, 2024, 08:03:52 pm »
Hello

I think I remember someone posting a technique to disable the touchpad with AMOUSE on the config.sys.
Did I remember correctly? was it with AMOUSE or a different technique?

I want to give it a try to disable the touchpad and just keep the trackpoint in a T14s (without messing with the BIOS) and  Thinkpad Yoga 14.

Regards

Code: [Select]
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS /DEVICE:1does it on my Lenovo L530.

I would suggest, that it  is better to do it in the BIOS, if the setting exists.

Thanks for the feedback Doug.

I tried it. On the case of the Thinkpad T14s, it disabled the Trackpoint and Trackpad at the same time, allowing me only to use an external USB mouse.

I would prefer to disable the trackpad via software, since this machine has dual boot and sometimes I need the trackpad on Windows. But this machine has a way to disable only the trackpad on the BIOS. I will return to that setting.

Thanks.
