A new Thinkpad X240 touchpad issue

[Pal, Laszlo (private)]

On my thinkpad this is a very useful script sometimes... 
touchpad/trackpoint in thinkpads under linux are not so good, however 
there is always a workaround :))

Palmdetect is working for you?

#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in

		echo "Both builtin pointer device is Off!"
	;;
	touchpad)
