apport information
** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric running-unity staging
** Description changed:
I have a new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Inspiron 17r Laptop, and
the
FN+F3 key combination does not work.
Expected: pressing Fn+f3 should disable the touchpad
Outcome: Although a transparent pop-up shows up on the top right hand corner
notifying user that the touchpad is disabled, the touchpad is still in
operation.
Older distros had option under mouse/pointer device option disable touch pad
when typing, but this is not available with 11.10.
Fix: Making it operational Fn+F3, adding an option under mouse/pointing
device to
disable touchpad when typing, allowing configuration of Fn+F? keys
Relates to: ALPS driver, Synaptics, xorg config???
I tried many things to fix this problem: Installing Synoptics, defining
custom key
combinations... unsuccessful
syndaemon -i 0.5 executed just fine.
gconftool-2 --set --type boolean
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled false
... this did not do anything. TouchPad works just fine, and it is not
disabled even when I type (... and my chubby hands keep activating and clicking
touchpad when I type). It might be because 11.10 distro does not have
"/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled" and I don't know where
else to find the device.
I did reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package but it did not
help, neither installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dev package helped
I saw xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:i386 package, but the synaptic
package manager was unable to install (dependencies etc).
This might be a clue: when I run
$ synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
obviouslly, some driver is loaded, since the trackpad works just fine,
except disabling it is a problem (I could not find what command fn+f3
calls), so it is a mystery as for what package is used.
system-> preferemces->Mouse and trackpad (via Unity) in 11.10 distro
does not even have the option of trackpad configuration.
here is the closest I got to the driver info:
$ xinput list
