OS: Kubuntu 12.04 HW: clevo p150em notebook - don't know the touchpad manufacturer
I have exactly the same problem with my clevo p150em notebook. (no movement, scrolling still possible) It's quite frustrating. It happened several time while I was watching youtube videos, but the reason for this could be that I did spend a lot of time on youtube... I have synaptiks enabled (the tool to control the touchpad). I enabled the "disable touchpad for 1sec after button pressed" option and the "disable touchpad when mouse is present". I don't know how to force this bug. Maybe some dev has to work for 1-2h without a mouse, maybe then the bug will occure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AC100 Team, which is subscribed to AC100_enablement. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035208 Title: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work) Status in Enablement project for the Toshiba AC100 NetBook: New Status in XOrg-Driver-Synaptics - synaptics driver for XOrg: New Status in xf86-input-synaptics: New Status in “linux-ac100” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes, in my Ubuntu 12.04 system on Toshiba AC100 (ARM), the touchpad doesn't react to movements anymore: i.e., I move the finger, but the pointer doesn't move (it is even being hidden because there are no movements). The buttons under the touchpad do work. Also, when I switch windows etc. the pointer does appear, and then hides again. So it's not a problem of the pointer in X, it's a problem either of the touchpad physically, or of the driver for it. I usually notice this when I'm working with a browser (Firefox), perhaps even with a map (like Google map) inside it. But this may be not related to the causes of the bug. A workaround: attach a USB mouse. (It works.) As I've found out somewhere under /sys/, the device is an Elantech touchpad, and the corresponding driver is psmouse. I couldn't find anything relevant in the dmseg output.
