New Wouldn't it be simpler to just unload/not load the driver?
What am I missing?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New The TSDEV module unloads just fine.
Except that the EVDEV module takes over. For most Thouchpads.

EVDEV runs everything else.

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
