The setting in gnome-control-center was removed since the setting was changed to be default to always active. Its certainly working on my laptop however I had xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed (but no changes to config files).
3.20 removed evdev/synaptics support completely in favour of libinput, however I thought 3.18 has support for both. Switching the input backend post-release seems like a pretty invasive change, unless everything is completely broken? -- 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/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+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
