Title:
Enable/Disable Touchpad not working correctly
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I am on Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 and from the begining I noticed that every time
the distro boots and, after login, the touchpad is active, even if before
shutting it down I have had disabled it.
This was not a problem in 13.04, if the laptop was shutt down with touchpad
disabled it would have started with it disabled. Now of course I loved that, so
I decided to make a tweak based on gsettings. I mean reading
'org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled' value at log
out, saving it in a file, then, at login reading that value with a startup
script and writing it to the same location.
I didn't test it all the way, because when playing with 'gsettings
set', 'gsettings get', and the Fn touchpad key I've noticed
discrepancies in the settings read with dconf and the actual results
of disabling/enabling touchpad with the Fn key.
Disabling touchpad with keyboard, doesn't necessary change 'org.gnome
.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled' value and the
same way arround (at least not immedeatly). The syncronization is
faulty.
This is mostly likely the reason why Touchpad Indicator Extension
(https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/131/touchpad-indicator/) does
not work well (It is not able to reenable touchpad after mouse being
unplugged).
