I've been working on this issue for a week! Macbook Air 1.1
I'm simply trying to turn off trackpad while typing, and reduce sensitivity. Lubuntu has none of these options in GUI.
xinput:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ HID 05ac:820b id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ bcm5974 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)]
↳ HID 05ac:820a id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Apple Computer, Inc. IR Receiver id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Apple, Inc. Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]

When I input the often suggested
syndaemon -i 0.5 -t -K -R
It does seem to have an effect, however there is no return of the cursor in the window. Perhaps this is normal. I can't use that terminal window further, which seems odd.
I do have a 50-Synaptics.conf file copied into the suitable folder, yet I read libinput is replacing Synaptics?
Further confusion is Openbox and Lubuntu documentation which suggests I should be editing
~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
I find no documentation of all the options relative to touchpads in the above file.
I also find suggestions I should be inputing synclient parameters to
Edit ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
This file exists without content.
Is Synaptics controlling the bcm5974 driver (specific to my hardware)?
Should I replace Synaptics with Libinput or xf86-input-mtrack, and would they be interacting with the bcm5974 in the same way?
How can I determine which touchpad options in man synaptics/libinput my hardware supports?
Thanks in Advance
