GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 658204
Touchpad is not re-enabled after using Disable/Enable shortkeys
Last modified: 2011-09-05 15:57:22 UTC
Fn+F3 toggles my touchpad. I can perfectly disable my touchpad, the dialog pop-up shows its disabled. The touchpad is correctly disabled. Then I press the key again to enable the touchpad again, the pop-up shows the touchpad is enabled again. But the touchpad is still in disabled mode. xinput list shows me: ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] This device is disabled I also found out that changing to tty1 for example, and then go back to tty7 (where gnome is running) makes the touchpad work again. In the code it does: g_settings_set_boolean (settings, TOUCHPAD_ENABLED_KEY, !state); But I guess something needs to be added to make the real activation gets triggered.
