Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present #159

VoodooI2CHID can now listen for USB or Bluetooth HID devices connecting to the system.

If the device is found to be a pointer device (mouse, trackpad etc), this will disable the built-in trackpad automatically.

Both ApplePS2Mouse and ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad, can use this with two new configuration values:

Besides the kext level configuration, the user preference from macOS is taken into account: System -> Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present

This deprecates VoodooPS2Daemon and additionally adds support for Bluetooth HID devices. Though with Bluetooth there can be a slight delay before the disconnection is detected and the touchpad re-enabled, hence its functionality is configurable.

Touchpad enabling and disabling via the PrtScr button works at any time.

Testing with my 4540s... The 4540s has an LED indicator for trackpad disables (lights up when disabled). That LED is not being updated when the trackpad is enabled/disabled with USB mouse unplug/plug. (the actual enable/disable of the trackpad is working though, the LED just doesn't reflect the change)

Will investigate.

Edit: (fixed) There were some missing calls to updateTouchpadLED.
