Here is now an improved version of the patch. It's against 2.4.21.
The following has changed from the original patch by Hans-Georg Thien
<1682-600@onlinehome.de>:
- - mouse events are dropped in 12 byte chunks to better fit the PS/2 mouse
protocol. That avoids spurious mouse events when the mouse is moving while
the delay timer is being reached.
- - to disable the feature after pressing or releasing some particular keys
(CTRL, SHIFT, ...) now keycodes instead of scancodes are used. "showkey -k"
shows the correct values. The bit 0x100 is used to distinguish press and
release events. 0 means press, 1 release. So,
escape 97
escape 29
mean disable "Disable Trackpad while typing" after pressing right and left
CTRL (useful for xterm users). While
escape 353 # 97+256
escape 258 # 29+256
mean disable "Disable Trackpad while typing" after releasing right and left
CTRL.
- - escaped keys are reported in /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad as decimal as "showkey
- -k" also display them as decimal. On input sscanf( "%i" ) is expected.
- - Documentation has been moved from Documentation/Configure.help to a separate
file Documentation/ps2-trackpad.txt.

+For people with a notebook that have a build in trackpad.
+
+The "Disable trackpad while typing" feature prevents unintended mouse
+moves and mouse taps while typing on the notebook keyboard.
+
+The majority of notebooks on the market have a PS/2 trackpad.
+So you will probably say "Y" if you have a notebook with a trackpad.
+
+Also note that you can control the behaviour of the trackpad via the
+/proc/tty/ps2-trackpad file, e.g.
+
+Set the delay time to 2 Secs (default is 10 ==> 1 Sec)
+
+ echo "delay 20" > /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad
+
+
+Completely disable the trackpad (default 0). Useful if you plug in an
+external mouse.
+
+ echo "disable 1" > /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad
+
+To completely disable this feature use
+
+ echo "delay 0" > /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad
+
+
+Escape the keyboard keycode for the key. After these keycodes mouse
+events are passed without a delay. (defaults are the keycodes for
+CTRL, SHIFT, ALT and MS-Windows (both left and right) and Menu
+(Windows Taskbar) keys).
+
+This is useful for some applications ( like xterm ) which are using
+keydown-click events.
+
+You can use showkey -k to find out the keycodes of your own keys.
+Apply "escape ???" twice to unescape a keycode.
+
+Example: define an escape for HOME-KeyPress
+
+ echo "escape 102" > /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad
+
+If you want to escape KeyRelease events add 0x100 (256) to the actual
+keycode value.
+
+ echo "escape 358" > /proc/tty/ps2-trackpad
+
+enables mouse events immediately after releasing HOME key.
+
+I can't imagine a situation where mouse events are needed immediately
+after key release events but it's implemented for completeness.
