I don't know if that control sequence exists for my Dell XPS M1730
laptop, but, luckily, I don't need the control sequence because it's all
automatic now that I loaded the (supposedly optional) driver for the
touchpad from Dell.

IMHO, it's a MANDATORY download, since the keyboard is essentially
useless with the touchpad in the way, moving the cursor all over the
place in the middle of your sentences.


I've looked for a similar driver for a Dell NC-6000 and can't find one. I
would appreciate any help finding it because like the rest of you the
touchpad gets in the way. Right now I have it covered with a piece of
cardboard.

I've looked for a key to press to turn the touchpad on and off and I've
looked under mouse to find a turn off option and I can find neither.

Thanks
