https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi droazen,I think you can update the parameters you mean by this way :1)  xinput list            ... in order to list your I/O devices and locate your touchpad 'oficial' name.2)  xinput list-props "your-touchpad-oficial-name"     ... to check your touchpad properties and ... at the bottom you will see two rows :                   Synaptics Pad Resolution (303): 1, 1                              & (HowTos)

Disable touchpad with xinput 1 year 35 weeks ago

Your `xinput list` output lists the touchpad as "PS/2 Generic Mouse", which is wrong.

i have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 installed.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 installed. I am having a problem with the Alps touchpad. My touchpad's driver loads, which is synaptics, and it gets recognized in xinput --list and in Xorg.0.log, but it's still not working.

Hi guys,There is a nice guide here for an automatic script to disable your Synaptics touchpad when a mouse is connected. But I seem to have an Elantech Touchpad.What I do now is check 'xinput list' for the device id of my ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad and then 'xinput disable xx' where xx is the device id.

Hi everyone, i've just upgraded my Lucid to Natty, and i ran into some problems.

First of all, touchpad enable/disable buttons are not working.

I've got acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in my /etc/grub/default, but that doesn't help.

I've also written a simple script, that enables/disables touchpad, and added it to /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad:

Hello, I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 (Gateway NV53u Laptop), with no problems except that I have lost the ability to scroll with my touchpad on my laptop.

Running xinput list shows that there is a PS/2 Mouse and AlpsPS/2 ALPS Glidepoint. Also, going through the Mouse and Pointer Device options, I see touchpad options, which I can fiddle with, but have no visible change.

My touchpad is enabled using all the normal methods on my Samsung N150. However, on one userid, it does not work. The touchpad-indicator shows it disabled and the "Enable Touchpad" feature of touchpad-indicator does nothing. On other userids, the touchpad can be enabled and disabled.

This is independent of window manager. On other userids, touchpad works with Unity or gnome.

Everytime I start my computer, when it gets to the login part of GUI, my touchpad works except I cannot turn it off using FnF3 (I'm using a Dell inspiron n4120).

Soon after I log in, the touchpad fails to recognize any input.

I have checked and my OS (Fedora 15) does recognize the touchpad using the command:

xinput --list

I wonder if it is possible to use a fallback driver for a synaptics touchpad instead of the synaptics driver. I have a weird problem with my touchpad (Acer TravelMate 6292), and I want to check this option out.

Under Windows (XP, Vista, 7)the generic driver works, while the synaptics driver freezes the system. I would like to try out whether the same holds under linux.
