Ubuntu :: Touchpad Stops Working After Pressing The Touchpad Toggle Button
May 7, 2010
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS. My laptop is an HP Pavilion TX1210AU (TX1000 series). After disabling the touchpad using the toggle button and reenabling it again, it stopped working. I tried restarting my laptop and the mouse worked again only up to the Login Screen. After logging in to my account, the mouse froze again. I tried making a new account and tried logging into it (I'm using it now) and it's now fixed. Does Ubuntu change any user settings everytime the touchpad toggle (on/off) button is switched? Maybe I could just reenable it myself.

I have an Hp Tx2 tablet with Lucid on and recently my touchpadsiezed to work while resizing a large partition on an external usb hard disk (which I believe has nothing to do with it). The resizing took me a day or 2. Since then, every time I log in, my touchpad freezes. It works fine at the login screen. As far as I recall, I did not do any substantial updates or apt-get installs recentlyWhen I cat /dev/input/mice it does give output, so I assume that it still works, there's just something in between, blocking my touchpad when logging in.
The driver is psmouse I figure (although I would think it's an usb touchpad), and if I remove the module and reload it, that does not make a difference.I already tried blacklisting, and loading after logging in.Anyone any input on how to debug/solve that?One thing I can add is when plugging in a usb mouse, that one does work. But that doesn't change anything on behalve of my touchpad. So it seems they use a different driver

I couldn't find a place to post Cent OS questions so don't bite if this is in the wrong place
I have a KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard with Integrated TouchPad which I am trying to get to work.
Now there are some reviews saying it works straight out the box on Linux. This was almost the case for me.
The keyboard works straight away but the touch pad doesn't work at all not even the mouse buttons
I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-128.el5
I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have checked the output of: cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Which gives:

What can I do to disable ONLY the LEFT touchpad button on my laptop? Left Click sticks by itself randomly, this causes problems when using my USB mouse (such as permanent dragging, permanent highlighting, permanent inability to left click anything, the computer is pretty much dead to me unless I try to tab around), it also causes issues with the Tap to Click, and it also causes Ubuntu to not recognize my "Left Handed" mouse button set up after boot for ONLY the touchpad. On the USB mouse, buttons work swapped.
Current solution: Left Handed Button Swap. Touch pad to click. Right touchpad button to right click. Sometimes I use my USB (which does recognize the swap). This is the 3rd install of vanilla Ubuntu (tried it just in case). That's not the issue. This is a Dell Inspiron 6000. I want to just disable the left button on ONLY the touchpad, I don't want this to affect my USB mouse. I want to keep the right button touch pad working. And of course I want my mouse to work. But, actually, my ideal is to sacrifice the left button, use Tap to Click, and use the right mouse button for right clicking. If I can't save the right click, can I disable both buttons?

My touchpad mysteriously stopped working in KDE, I had messed with touchpad settings a while back, just general stuff, and on reboot, the touchpad didn't work at all! I purged the entirety of kubuntu-desktop packages, and thought that would fix it. I reinstalled kubuntu-desktop but the problem is still there! It works for the login screen and for gnome, just not kde.

I run Windows 7 (Boo! Hiss!) on my netbook (HP Mini 311c), and I would like to dual boot with Ubuntu. Not the netbook remix, as I just don't like it.
I created a bootable USB with unetbootin, out of the iso, and loaded up. It all loaded fine, except for the fact that the touchpad didn't work. I had to ctrl+alt+del to shut down. What could be causing this?

I can log into ubuntu using my keyboard and mouse but about 5 seconds after I hit enter my mouse quits working. Keyboard still works so I can open terminal and use all keyboard. But, if I hit the touchpad toggle button over and over again many many times in a row, the mouse will start to work and my keyboard stops. I don't know what my course of action is to fix this strange problem. It just started today.

I have been using Ubuntu 10.10 for about a week now, I have had many, many problems, but usually figure them out by searching through this forum, except this time:I have an HP touchsmart tx2 1025dx laptop. When I installed it, everything worked great, sound, mouse, and even the touchscreen. Right now I noticed that when I press the button on by laptop which toggles the touchpad, it works but after it would freeze the menus, so that they would not drop down, I have confirmed this after many restarts. Now the touchpad has stopped working completely. Although if use the toggle button, it will still freeze by menus. It also somehow stops my keyboard from typing things into programs, like firefox, but still somehow the control-alt delete still lets me restart it.
My question is how can I reset the mouse settings/preferances to how they were when I installed? I found something a while back that was xorgconfig??? but it has since been taken out of ubuntu 10.10 (I read this somewhere, please correct me if I'm wrong.) I hope this is enough information for someone to point me in the right direction.Recap:Laptop Touchpad not workingWhen I press the toggle Touchpad button, messes up the menusUsing HP Touchsmart Tx2 1025dx LaptopLooking for a way to reset/restore sound preferences/settings or enable touchpad/ps: I was able to come here because the touchscreen is still working I ended up doing this:rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacitywhich reset ALL of my settings back to when I installed it, without deleting my programs or files.I found this here: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/0...re-installing/

Upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 yesterday. Only negative thing I'm experiencing is the horizontal scroll region is not really working. Vertical works great and has it has been. Horizontal is activated (under Mouse>Touchpad>Enable Horiztonal (Edge) Scrolling.
When I move horizontally in the region, the cursor remains in the same place. If I try it many times it does work, but it's pretty much useless.
I'm using the hp tc4200 with a synaptics touchpad.

Since last Saturday (11-20) my touchpad enable/disable key stopped working.I don't make much use of the touchpad and it usually stays disabled most of the time so I can't be sure it is really on Saturday that I lost this functionality or maybe the day before (I'm positive it's not longer than that).Before that it worked flawlessly, now it's like a dead key (which is not broken by the way, tested on a live CD).In these past week I have been looking for quite some time for other users who might have experienced this problem after the update of two specific packages (console-data and keyboard-configuration) I had on the 20th and which made me think might have broken the key binding.Not finding anything at all and after having tried for said packages both newer versions from sid and previous known-to-have-worked-before versions from the install CD, I started thinking the problem was not there (I consequently restored the testing ones).
The days before this happened I tinkered a little bit with gpointing-device-settings and tpconfig (this last one was a simple tpconfig -i), but at this point I start thinking there might have been something else I've done, somewhere else I can't recall probably.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the touchpad still works flawlessly, I can enable/disable it through gconf (actually I made two handy shortcut to the "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled" value), so it is not an issue of making it work, just the toggle key which on my laptop is a dedicated one (no Fn modifier) and anyway all the other special keys still work fine.I checked gnome-keybinding-properties and there is no action for the touchpad there, but I don't know for sure if there was one before (and I haven't been able to add one). Anyway in gconf I noticed a key in "/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad" has the value "XF86TouchpadToggle", not sure if that means the keybinding exists or what.
What more can I add? What I'm here to ask now is some guidance on figuring out what I might have done wrong considering what I was able to tell you, but mostly, considering what I wasn't able to tell you and am not even aware to have done.

I have installed Debian Testing, which didn't crashed...yet. But I have another problem. I am on a ASUS Laptop, with Elantech touchpad, which doesn't work. The bigger program is that the FN key from my laptop is not recognized too. I am a bit angry because it was working, it is working on live CDs, was working on yesterday's Debian, same version, same CD, nothing changed. I've followed these methods, but no success: [URL]

i'm having a little bit of trouble with my touchpad, it is apparently recognized as a PS2 Mouse, so no edge scrolling obviously, i read through xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.4.0.901-1.fc15 (1686) description:
Code:
This is the Synaptics touchpad driver for the X.Org X server. The following touchpad models are supported:
* Synaptics
* appletouch (Post February 2005 and October 2005 Apple Aluminium Powerbooks)
* Elantech (EeePC)
* bcm5974 (Macbook Air (Jan 2008), Macbook Pro Penryn (Feb 2008), iPhone (2007), iPod Touch (2008)
Note that support for appletouch, elantech and bcm5974 requires the respective kernel module. A touchpad by default operates in compatibility mode by emulating a standard mouse. However, by using a dedicated driver, more advanced features of the touchpad become available.
Features:
Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed. Button events through short touching of the touchpad ("tapping"). Double-Button events through double short touching of the touchpad. Dragging through short touching and holding down the finger on the touchpad. Middle and right button events on the upper and lower corner of the touchpad.Vertical scrolling (button four and five events) through moving the finger on the right side of the touchpad.
The up/down button sends button four/five events. Horizontal scrolling (button six and seven events) through moving the finger on the lower side of the touchpad. * The multi-buttons send button four/five events, and six/seven events for horizontal scrolling.Adjustable finger detection. Multifinger taps: two finger for middle button and three finger for right button events. (Needs hardware support. Not all models implement this feature.) Run-time configuration using shared memory. This means you can change parameter settings without restarting the X server. and it says that it requires specific kernel modules for the touchpad, otherwise it will be recognized as a normal mouse. Maybe I'm wrong but i think my problem fits in this state.
My notebook is a Dell N4030, Here are some outputs:
uname -a:
Code:
Linux alberto-dell 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 16 04:24:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It seems that the touchpad has stopped working on my Acer travelmate 2490. I don't use it often, so that I am not sure when it occurred, but I suspect it was after my update to KDE 4.3.

Install Debian Squeeze onto Thinkpad T410. Got the basic things working and noticed that - movement of touchpad results in moving of mouse pointer, which is correct, but - tapping on the touchpad does not simulate a click action. Confirmed that the touchpad hardware is working by booting into a CrunchBang LiveCD. how I can enable the touchpad tapping action?

Alright, so I finally decided to test Slackware Current on my laptop. After this upgrade my touchpad does not work in X, but it does work in the terminal. The mouse section of my xorg.conf is:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
[Code]...
If I cat /dev/psaux I get output when i move my touchpad around. I also ran cat on /dev/mouse and I also get output from that when i move my touchpad around. I also tried Protocol "Auto" instead of PS/2, and IMPS/2 to no avail. Also, to begin with I was using the synaptics driver, and i moved it back to the generic mouse driver, and still nothing.

Just recently discovered that for a non-root user the touchpad on my Acer laptop ( Aspire 5720z fyi ) isn't working in X ( KDE or XFCE ). It does work in in tty (at login) and for root it works in both environments.
I'm running 13.1 x64 on it, with the normal security patches via slackpkg. Didn't notice before since I normally use a mouse (and thus I do like the touchpad being disabled so I don't 'tap' away the cursur while typing).
With the recent holidays (with family visits and all) I took the laptop on my lap,.and voila: no trackpad movement.. I did some searching allready, but this problem seems to be solved since a while, and isn't supposed to be in 13.1
FROM RELEASE NOTES Piter Punk for udev and slackpkg work, updating the shadow password system, writing the initial patch for polkit to use a shadow authentication backend so we could consider using KDE 4.4.3, and making tap-to-click work with Synaptics touchpads out-of-the-box,)

/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse(.conf) allready has this commented line:

After upgrading my Acer extenza 5620z to debian squeeze(kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-686) left click was not working on my SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad,allthought moving the cursor was working !
I went to debian channel on irc and there was someone who told that I should install a patch [URL] to correct this problem but when I restarted the whole touchpad was not working !!
Here is the output of dmesg [URL]
