I've wanted to play a game, but there is a problem. When I want to turn and walk at same time, I can't, because the touchpad do not work when walking. I've ridden that synclient and syndaemon can fix this, but I don't know how to use them and they require synaptics driver, and I don't know how to load driver. Can someone help me, please?
With the libinput driver :
In a terminal xinput list => to get the id number of your touchpad. Example : ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=12
then xinput list-props 12 => to display all options with 12 as the id from previous step.
Check this line libinput Disable While Typing Enable (292): 1
To change the value : xinput set-prop 12 292 0 => no reboot required. Just test it.
Please don't use the numbers, they're prone to change. Use the device name and the property name and it'll work the same way.

Did you check in the "Mouse and Touchpad" configuration, then "Toucpad" tab and uncheck "Disable Touchpad while typing".
There isn't any ''Disable touchpad while typing'' entry in GNOME Settings and ''Mouse and Touchpad'' configuration do not work on other desktops, such as IceWM.
