Bluetooth disable and ponter drift?

My T400 has been behaving nicely and I am enjoying it. However, I have two questions.
1) During boot the bluetooth turns on. Usually when windows starts up it disables. However, sometimes it doesn't. Is there any to disable this behavior? Maybe just disable bluetooth all together?
2) Occasionally it seems the touch pad becomes active while my hand is wresting on the palm wrest and causes the pointer to drift. Any way to stop this?

1) FN-F5 and turn off the bluetooth radio
2.) Disable the touchpad in BIOS

1. I find that mine does that too... Kinda annoying, probably isn't too significant.
2. Disabling in BIOS is a bit overkill; I'd just go disable it in the UltraNav settings by pressing Fn+F8.
Alternatively, you can set the PalmCheck in the UltraNav settings to be more strict about touchpad readings.

Yeah, I know about FN f5 but I want it disabled from start up. And I don't want to diable the track pad as I do us that as well.

Put
Code: Select all
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
into your /etc/rc.local and bluetooth will be switched off during boot.

I guess part of the fix is upgrading the OS

Yeah, because I want a non functional OS that I can't use any of my software with.
