I ran through the link above. There is no gnome-settings-daemon running.
When running xev, the FN plus sound keys (F3, F4 and F5) work as expected. They produce output and perform the corresponding action. However, FN + brightness (F9 and F10) and the touchpad (F11) do not. As the guide suggests, the acpi_listen shows output for the brightness (F9 and F10). However, there is no output for the FN+F11 (touchpad). I collected the logs as suggested by the link and I'm attaching them. I see that there are some "touchpad" entries in the logs, but I can't not make sense out of the entries. ** Attachment added: "logs.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1605433/+attachment/4711986/+files/logs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605433 Title: [Dell Alienware 17R3] enable/disable touchpad not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1605433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
