Earlier, I wrote about using xinput to disable a touchpad (see: "disabling that touchpad").
There are other ways to do that, of course. Your chosen desktop environment probably provides a GUI tool for touchpad settings. Or your laptop itself may have a way for you to disable the touchpad. A quick web search should turn up some different approaches you can take.
xinput comes in handy for Openbox, which has no GUI tool for touchpad settings (as far as I know).
Settings made by xinput do not survive the current user session. You can put the following at the end of your ~/.config/openbox/autostart file:
xinput set-prop xx "Device Enabled" 0 &
(where "xx" is the device id number found by running the xinput list command)
