Just a quick note to say that for me trying to turn off the touchpad while typing using the menu item System->Preferences->Mouse, then the "Touchpad" tab and "Disable touchpad while typing" didn't work. Accidentally touching the touchpad kept moving the curser around frunstratingly whenever I was typing.
Hi,
I have just migrated to F18 and my system seems that "touchpad" is not at all cutomizable.
I have a big problem when writing, cursor moves averywhere due to the fact that touch pad is too much sensitive and is very difficult to avoid to touch it without causing cursor to move suddenly anywhere.
How can I avoid this?
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.
The touchpad works just fine, but the multi-touch "feature" doesn't seem to be working on Ubuntu 9.10 RC. For example, in mouse options, there is a setting for two finger scrolling, but when I have that option enabled, I loose scrolling abilities completely. If I change the setting back to edge scrolling, it works fine; like any other touchpad would.
Hello guys and girls of Fedoraforum.org!
I'm new to this whole linux thing, but slowly getting everything figured out. After a few days i got my laptop working pretty much good, got the battery problem fixed, and everything works properly.

Hello all,
I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP Envy 14 (first generation) laptop (first time installing Linux which is why I'm in this forum). The touchpad is giving me problems. Although basic functionality such as clicking and right clicking work, higher functions such as multitouch and (most importantly) disabling the touchpad while typing do not work.
Hello all,
I recently purchased a dm3 from HP, which I love, however I am not able to turn off the touchpad while in Ubuntu 9.10, which I can in Windows using the button right about the touchpad.
There already exists a how-to for disabling the touchpad when a USB mouse is plugged in during boot by rhowaldt.This doesn't work, though, when the mouse is plugged in after starting X, and the touchpad stays off after unplugging the mouse.For toggling to work, you have to create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/01-touchpad.rules with following content:ACTION=="add", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=
