Asked by Net.God

Disabled touchpad on Lenovo t460s notebook over "Mouse and Touchpad setting". Touchpad seems to be deactivated in normal behaviour, but two finger touch on touchpad seems to be part activ while press left touchpad button.

So if I press left touchpad button while my both hands lays on touchpad because of 10 finger typing, it seems it notice 2 touches on touchpad (2 finger touch). I am a trackpoint user, so typing and mouse interactions are quite good solution, but touchpad must be deacitvated while working, because both hands lay down on touchpad will cause mousepointer interactions. So i decided to disable it. But if boths hands lay on touchpad and I click the left touchpad button for example to mark a part of text, it will be like the left button is locked. This behaviour will go away if i do not lay down my both hands on touchpad. So it seems that touchpad is not fully deactivated, the 2 finger touch seems part active.

I use synaptic driver
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-16.04

I also tested xinput driver and deinstalled synaptic, but it is the same behaviour.
