Synaptics touchpads tend to work poorly on Linux without lots of
careful configuration. This module makes disabling and enabling
the fucking things easier. Turn to fuckpad when you're tired of
errant clicks and mouse movements because your palm dared to
enter the the touchpad's general area.
$ fuckpad # disable by default
Disabled touchpad
$ fuckpad disable
Disabled touchpad
$ fuckpad enable
Enabled touchpad>>> from fuckpad import set_touchpad
>>> set_touchpad(True) # enabled
>>> set_touchpad(False) # disabled
Install with pip install fuckpad. Requires Python 2.7/3.0+.
Tested on Ubuntu with the Lenovo X1 Carbon and a much older ThinkPad.
