How to turn off the Touchpad in LMDE3 Cindy? [ Solved with Update ]

Post by AZgl1800 »

the typical Touchpad options that normally allow you to turn OFF the touchpad, are non-existent in this verison.

so how do I go about turn off the damn touch-pad?
it gets in the way moving the mouse cursor while I am typing, or otherwise just laying my hands on the laptop case.

very aggravating.
