On my Lenovo Yoga 2 pro I installed Ubuntu 14.04 32bit and kept the installed Windows 8 on another partition.
In Windows, When you turn it into tablet mode, the keyboard and touchpad turns off so you don't accidently click on it at the back of the "tablet".
In ubuntu 14.04 only the keyboard turns off, but the touchpad stays active. Not even the Fn+F6 combination doesn't turn it off.
So far I can only disable it with
synclient TouchpadOff=1
(and re-enable with 0)
I tried xev
to get the keycode for Fn+F6 but pressing this combo generates no output. Turning the monitor to the back neither.
How can I disable the touchpad automatically when I rotate or turn the monitor on the back, and re-enable the Fn+F6 Hotkey?

UPDATE:
After some weeks sudo apt-get upgrade
Fn+F6 is working now, so there is only the question how to rotate the screen and how to disable the touchpad automatically when rotating the screen.
