Description Timothy Murphy 2014-12-12 11:18:29 UTC 
I upgraded my ThinkPad-T510 to Fedora-21 from Fedora-20/KDE with fedup.
I want to disable the touchpad completely, and use the pointing stick instead.
This used to be possible in System Settings/Hardware/Input Devices/Touchpad but the option appears to have been removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into Fedora-21
2. Go to System Settings/Hardware/Input Devices
3. Cannot find option to disable touchpad

Actual Results:  
No option available, touchpad cannot be disables

Expected Results:  
It was possible to disable the touchpad in Fedora-20/KDE

Please put back the optiion if it has indeed been removed.

ktouchpadenabler has nothing to do with that, it only listens to the key that enables/disables the touchpad and acts accordingly (if your laptop has that key)

You need to install the kcm-touchpad module. Please ask in a forum of your distribution for exact package names.
