I don't use gestures or 2-finger scrolling; my touchpad doesn't have those capabilities. It seems to happen randomly, although it's usually within the first few minutes of a new boot. I then have to log out, using ctrl+alt+delete, and then back in. This gets the touchpad working, and it never seems to fail again for the whole day. But the next day, the same thing happens.
I tried to run evtest as above, but I don't quite understand how to use it. Do I enter the whole command as above, or should the eventX part be replaced by something else? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859455 Title: Touchpad random breakage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/859455/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
