.TH "syndaemon" "1" "0.14.0" "" ""
.SH "NAME"
.LP
syndaemon \- a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
syndaemon [\fI\-i idle\-time\fP] [\fI\-d\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window. This program needs SHMConfig "on" in your XFree86 Synaptics Touchpad configuration.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.LP
.TP
\fB\-i\fR <\fIidle\-time\fP>
How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad. (default is 2.0s).
.LP
.TP
\fB\-d\fP
Start as a daemon, ie in the background.
.LP
.TP
\fB\-p\fR <\fIpid\-file\fP>
Create a pid file with the specified filename. A pid file will only be
created if the program is started in daemon mode.
.LP
.TP
\fB\-t\fP
Only disable tapping, not mouse movements, in response to keyboard activity.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.LP
.TP
\fBDISPLAY\fP
Specifies the X server to contact.
.SH "CAVEATS"
.LP
It doesn't make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because
the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity,
but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
.SH "AUTHORS"
.LP
Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com>.
.TP
This man page was written by Mattia Dongili <dongili@supereva.it>
