Hi Lars, Ian,

Might either of you (or anyone else) have an idea about how to turn the touchpad on the x230 completely OFF? I prefer the finger mouse and the touchpad just gets in the way. Much of what I've read in the manual and on the web seems to be outdated and revolves around configuring xorg. Is it a matter of adding hw.psm.synaptics_support="0" to /boot/loader.conf?

On a related note, is there a way to set the following options at boot?

# kldload acpi_ibm
# kldload acpi_call
# acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i 7
