This is a simple Python script to automatic or manually start/stop your Touchpad of laptops on linux.
easi to use:
mswitch on/off/auto/calibrate
you must be root to calibrate as a file is save in /etc/mswitch.conf.
I put the file in /usr/bin.
to calibrate you should remove any pointing device first (usb or PS/2 mouses) than run as root:
#mswitch calibrate
after you could run
$mswitch auto
if you want to manually switch
mswitch ON/OFF.
next version will have a GUI.
