I use this to toggle the touchpad on and off:
anon@lowtide:~$ cat tt
#!/bin/bash
id=$(xinput --list |grep -i touchpad |awk '{print $6}' |cut -f'2' -d'=')
state=$(xinput --list-props $id |grep "Device Enabled" |awk '{print $4}')
case ${state} in
1) xinput --set-prop ${id} "Device Enabled" 0
zenity --info --text="Trackpad now off"
;;
0) xinput --set-prop ${id} "Device Enabled" 1
zenity --info --text="Trackpad now on"
;;
*)
;;
esac
