synaptic - no touchpad option

[ash_scotland88]

I installed synaptic, both generic version and sony aquired for my parents laptop. This was to turn off the touchpad while typing, but the issue is under settings there's no touchpad option.

Any ideas?

Help appreciated.

Yeah looked into that, but it's for my mother so she'll find it hard to understand to turn it on and off again between typing
