Typing on a keyboard with an unconfigured synaptics keypad is awful!

I'm using a Live system and having a lot of problems with the synaptics touch pad.  I have to be SUPER careful not to lean any part of my hand or arm on any part of the keyboard or surrounding area; otherwise unplanned cursor movement or cutting out text takes place; it's no wonder that I use phones for short messages.

At work I have a docking station; that helps a LOT!

Update: if the system you are using has the synaptics tool.  PCLinuxOS is interesting: they have a graphical version that allows you to toggle the enabling or disabling of the touchpad.
