Still experiencing this issue under Ubuntu 12.10 with Kernel 3.5.0-16. Logging out and back in fixes it, although often only temporarily (comes back after minutes or hours, it varies)
** Summary changed: - Multitouch stops working after a while + Touchpad scrolling and tapping stops working after a while ** Description changed: When I boot into my system, an ASUS Zenbook UX31, the elantech touchpad works fine. I have a small script to configure it which is run when my session starts, and those parameters are applied fine without problem. Here is the script, in case something in there might be relevant : #!/bin/sh synclient FingerLow=9 FingerHigh=12 synclient MinSpeed=2.0 MaxSpeed=4.0 AccelFactor=0.1 synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1 HorizTwoFingerScroll=0 synclient CoastingSpeed=10 CoastingFriction=25 synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 synclient EdgeMotionMinZ=30 EdgeMotionMaxZ=40 EdgeMotionMinSpeed=100 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed=400 synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=5 PalmMinZ=1 #must restart syndaemon to set those params. killall syndaemon syndaemon -i 1 -t -K -d - The issue is that after a while, the multitouch just stops working. I am - still able to use the touchpad, but it cannot scroll with two fingers, I - cannot tap with two-three fingers to right-middle click, it's all gone. - I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact issue yet. + The issue is that after a while, some features of the touchpad stop + working.
