[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1605433] Re: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working
The patch on #39 solved the problem. However, after applying #40, and then #41 I was able to enable the touchpad. But disabling wasn't working consistently. After reboot, the touchpad is working, and the enable/dissable feature now shows an overlay with the enable/disable status (like with brightness and sound effects). I'm not sure if that is relevant, but rebooting let the system operational.

1. No, the combination Fn+F11 never worked on 16.04. 2. Sorry, I misread that. No, I haven't tested on older releases, just future ones. 3. I'm not on that computer right now. I will provide it later. 4. I haven't tested on the upstream kernels now. I did test on the upstreams during 2016 when first reported. But not any more.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1605433] Re: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working
1. I was able to toggle it on the command line or using the settings. This is still true for subsequent releases, up to 18.10. 2. Yes. I have been testing every release up to current 18.10, and the problem with the keyboard combination persists (see #28 and #29, sadly I stopped reporting and just went back to see if this can be solved). But the touchpad can be enable or disable from command line or through the settings. 3. I have been testing released kernels, and kept the system up to date. 4. The BIOS is updated too. Note that other key combinations (like brightness for the screen, or the volume settings work with the function key) work, but not the touchpad enable/disable key combination. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605433 Title: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The touchpad does not work as expected.

adin: 1) To clarify, when you first installed Ubuntu 16.04 were you able to toggle the touchpad? 2) Have you tested any release older than 16.04? 3) To keep this relevant to upstream, one would want to periodically check for, and test the latest mainline kernel (now 5.0-rc8) as it is released. Could you please advise? 4) It wouldn't hurt to keep an updated BIOS as it helps to further root cause (and security best practice). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605433 Title: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The touchpad does not work as expected.

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.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1605433] Re: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working
Seems like this issue is about touchpad hotkey, but does touchpad work at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605433 Title: [Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The touchpad does not work as expected. 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.
