This looks a bit complicated, since as far as I know GDM uses Xorg's |
| 16 |
configuration to discover how to use mouse/keyboard, so, if you're |
| 17 |
going to have more than one configuration, wouldn't it be necessary |
| 18 |
for you to restart the X server? I too have a laptop, but for mine the |
| 19 |
switch button for the synaptic touchpad really works :) turning it off |
| 20 |
completely both in win and lin. |

A friend told me once that he wrote a udev rule that recreated a |
| 23 |
device every time he plugged in and out his USB mouse, this way, when |
| 24 |
plugged out, the device pointed to the touchpad, while plugged in, it |
| 25 |
references the USB mouse. |

Can GDM do this? Sorry, couldn't find anything in the docs about it... |
