You could try TouchpadToggle which is in the repos via Synaptic

You can also turn off the touchpad when you are typing.

Add this command to run at when your desktop starts.

Code:
syndaemon -t -k -i 2 -d &

Omit the -t if you want to disable movement: with the -t only mouse clicks are disabled.

PCLinuxOS-kde4 let's me use all my FN (function keys) on my MSI laptop.

FN-F3 kills my touchpad on my laptop.

Back in time I used to use key-touch.  I don't even know if it still current...

Sorry, did not make that clear. syndaemon deactivates the touchpad when you start typing, and activates it again if the keyboard is not touched for -i seconds.

-k tells it to ignore modifier keys (control, shift, meta)

This solves the problem of accidentally hitting the touchpad while typing, without turning it on and off manually.
