This a proof-of-concept Linux userspace driver to hardware-enable/-disable the touchpads on TongFang/Uniwill laptops. This will also trigger the disabled-led, formerly unfunctional under linux.

It syncs up with the software toggle in the gnome settings deamon.

It comes with some known disfuctionalities:

  • only works on desktop evnironments using gsettings/gio
  • does not work on loginscreen(gdm)
  • needs to be started for every user seperatly
  • every user needs write access to the /dev/hidraw* device for the touchpad (udev *.rules included)
  • switching between 2 users is not detected (on next toggle the software and hardware disable will be in sync again however)
