[gui-talk] Laptop Issue

[Ted Shelly]

You can try this:  Windows-b to go to the notification area of the taszk
bar.  Your screen reader should say something like "notification chevron".
Hit enter, wich will open the notification overflow area.  Use cursor keys
to explore what is there.  You may find something related to your touchpad.
Hit enter to explore the options there.

Some laptops have a way to turn the touch pad off and some don't. 
However most have the option for the touch pad to be disabled if you have
another mouse plugged in.  I just buy a wireless mouse and when you plug in
the small wireless dongle it will disable the touch pad.
