Disable touchpad - ID keeps changing

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?

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
