Can you disable the touchpad in BIOS?

You can try to blacklist the driver of the touchpad, if you know them:
How To Permanently Blacklist a Package File | Haiku Project
I never try this, but you can do this with other drivers, better packages of drivers, too. Plese correct me if i am false.

Thanks for your advice. It works fine 
But If possible, I want a solution like `synclient TouchpadOff=1â 
Which driver should I put into blacklist?

Try disabling (move all the way to the left) âtapping sensitivityâ in Input preferences, IIRC @humdinger gave that as a tip a long time ago to me (and others).

@Begasus
There are only âAT Keyboard 1â and âPS/2 Mouse 1â and âUSB Mouse 1â in Input preference. No âtapping sensitivityâ 
Thanks.
Perhaps it is not wired as PS/2 device and so not fully seen as a touchpad?

Even if itâs ps/2, the driver may not recognize it as any particular touchpad type, and use it in mouse compatibility mode. In that case there are no specifio settings in input preferences.

Tell the input server to stop it. Compile this little program:
#include <Message.h>
#include <Messenger.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// From headers/private/input/InputServerTypes.h
#define IS_START_DEVICE 'Istd'
#define IS_STOP_DEVICE 'Ispd'
// From src/servers/input/InputServer.h
#define INPUTSERVER_SIGNATURE "application/x-vnd.Be-input_server"
#define CHECK(x) if (x != B_OK) { puts(strerror(x)); return 2; }
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
if (argc != 3)
return 1;
status_t err;
BMessage command(strcmp(argv[2], "stop") ? IS_START_DEVICE : IS_STOP_DEVICE);
err = command.AddString("device", argv[1]);
CHECK(err);
BMessenger inputServer(INPUTSERVER_SIGNATURE, -1, &err);
CHECK(err);
BMessage reply;
err = inputServer.SendMessage(&command, &reply, 5000000LL, 5000000LL);
CHECK(err);
status_t err2 = reply.FindInt32("status", &err);
CHECK(err2);
CHECK(err);
return 0;
}
And run it as ./whatever 'PS/2 Mouse 1' stop. You can change âstopâ for âstartâ to resurrect it.

Or use iroster from Making sure you're not a bot!

But /boot/system/develop/headers/os/app/Message.h is readonly
I canât remove this lineâŚ
I noticed that âPS/2 Mouse 1â is a driver for my touchpad. So moving all the way to the left of âPS/2 Mouse 1â in Input preferences makes touchpad almost stopped. but it donât stop perfectly.
@korli
Thanks for your information! next command has stopped touchpad perfectly
/bin/iroster -"PS/2 Mouse 1"
And I have put â/bin/iroster -âPS/2 Mouse 1ââ into ~/config/settings/boot/UserBootscript, but it didnât work
Something wrong with me?
I found an ad-hoc solution 
(sleep 20; /bin/iroster -"PS/2 Mouse 1") &
But I donât think this is a best way 
You are probably missing the gcc_syslibs_devel package that contains this file.
Removing the line would just break somewhere further down Message.h
pkgman install gcc_syslibs_devel

Thanks for your response. But is this line correct?
#include <new>
I feel strange about include file name ânewâ which have no extention â.hâ
You can include any file. new is a C++ header. Either compile with c++ instead of cc or change the source extension to cpp. Or use whatever flag is needed to force C++. Youâll also need -lbe to link to libbe.
But youâd better forget my dirty program and just use iroster, which I didnât find before writing that.
