I'm running 12.07 on an acer aspire and have had no problems, until I disabled the touchpad using the Fn and F7 keys. This disabled the touchpad fine. But when I went to turn it back on I got the enabled icon appear but the pad didn't work. The computer has been rebooted since this happened but this has made no difference. It is enabled in the settings, usb mouse works fine.
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.
I want to use my Thinkpad T40's touchpad for gestures only, not for mouse movement. Is there any way to accomplish that?
Even with disabled Touchpad, synclient shows touchpad strokes, so it should be possible to intercept these strokes and use them for gestures.
I have tried easystroke before, but it didn't seem to work with my touchpad at all, not even with an enabled one.
I have an ASUS laptop. I can set the touchpad to disabled in the BIOS then sometime later it becomes active again. I reboot, check BIOS and it still disabled, Ubuntu boots up and it stays disabled for a while and then becomes active all of a sudden. How do I stop this? I use a usb wireless mouse.
Yeah, this doesn't work for me. I'm 100% I did everything correct. I went over everything a lot of times. It doesn't work.The scrip works. If I click it. So clearly, lsusb works, the script works, the touchpad gets disabled if I have my mouse in and it doesn't if I don't.The problem is that it's not automatic.
Hey, I using 9.10 and I have noticed that my touchpad is disabled automatically when typing. I would like to find a way to change this so it does not happen at all.
I have an Acer Aspire 3356. And it has a useful button which allows you to disable the touchpad. So when you are typing for example, if you rest you hand on the touchpad you don't click somewhere else on the screen and type there. When you press the button it glows orange and the touchpad is disabled. Then I press it again, the orange glow goes off. However, the touchpad remains disabled.
Inertia started working for me after today's updates. It's very noticeable when trying two-finger slide up and down on chromium using an external Logitech wireless touchpad on a desktop.
It's good news.
It is disabled (greyed out) in Mouse and Touchpad settings. Edge scrolling works though :) Tried many solutions available online but couldn't succeed.
My touchpad is
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Please help.
