What I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
output=$( xinput)
output2=$"$output" | sed 's/.* touchpad (.*) [ .*/1/'
My laptop touchpad sucks and I want to just use the center mouse control stick and buttons. This is easy in Windows, but in Lubuntu, it can apparently only be done with commands. It would be easier if xinput always yielded the same ID numbers, but they seem to change after reboot. My xinput reads:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_3M: In id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
Can someone help me get "13" into a variable so I can use it to disable the item?
