I cannot disable my builtin trackpad without also disabling my Bluetooth trackpad

[sql-sith]

Hi! This looks like a great extension, even if there's something weird about my setup that will prevent a resolution for me, so let me say thanks before anything else.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a MacBookPro14,3, which is the MacBook Pro 15-Inch from Mid-2017 with the 2.9 GHz Core i7-7820HQ.

I have an external Bluetooth touchpad that I want to use. I actually pretty much need to use it because I have hand tremors and I randomly touch the internal trackpad at fairly regular intervals. I've probably had to "clean up" this post about six times so far. Not a "world's tiniest violin" kind of thing - it's just the way it is.

Is there any way to look into whether this can be addressed? If not, I can do something weird like cover the builtin trackpad with rubber or something, but obviously this extension is a much better solution if I can do something to get it to work. If you think it would take a code change, point me in the right direction and I'll try to it one of these weekends. I'm up to about 9 cleanups now, so I'm certainly motivated. :)

(annnd ... 10)

Thanks!

Hi Chris, I am glad that this extension is somewhat helping you on a daily basis.
To address your issue, I need additional device information. Hence, I request you to please fill out the issue template.

At the very least, I need:

• X input devices (ie. output for xinput list)
• Input Devices (ie. output for cat /proc/bus/input/devices)
• Display server: X11 or Wayland
• Switching method: GSetting or Xinput or Synclient
