This problem is also valid for the ASUS UL30A. The touchpad is seen as
an "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse". See in dmesg and by the command
"xinput list". I am using Ubuntu 9.10.

To disable the touchpad the following command can be used:

   xinput set-int-prop "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" "Device Enabled" 8
0

To enable use:

   xinput set-int-prop "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" "Device Enabled" 8
1

To make the <Fn>F9 working I did the following:

1. As the <Fn>F9 does not generate a keycode but an acpi event you cannot assign just a keycode to a script. So I first checked the generated event hotkey code using:
   sudo acpi_listen
and pressed <Fn>F9. This gives 0000006b as event hotkey code.
2. In /etc/acpi/events there is an asus-touchpad event file. This is using the wrong code so I changed it.
3. The script /etc/acpi/assus-touchpad.sh is not correct for this touchpad so I changed it (see attached script)
4. Now send the acpid a SIGHUP signal (or reboot) and the <Fn>F9 button toggles your touchpad an or off.
