Debian - syndaemon dose not seem to control my trackpad? (Turn off while typing / when mouse plugged in)

I would like to add some functionality to deal with enabling and disabling the mouse-track-pad in various situations...

1) Turn off the mouse-track-pad whenever a mouse is plugged into the computer

2) Turn off the mouse-track-pad when I am typing, then turn it back on when I am no longer typing.
