It can't be enabled or disabled through FN+F11 combination. The light (in the pad) always turns on, regardless of its non functionality. The problem seems related to bug #1523738, and some say solution #24 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1523738/comments/24) works, but it didn't for me. WORKAROUND: Executing the following via a terminal allows one to disable and enable the touchpad: xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1 xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0 But it only works if it is enabled from the beginning from the systems configuration GUI. If it is disabled, it doesn't do the expected behavior.
