[Bug 300523] Re: syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing
Looks like this already got fixed a while back. Only difference is instead of setting Device Enabled it sets Synaptics Off, which I assume is sufficient else we'd have a lot more people complaining about broken touchpads. ;-) I kinda suspect this setting should be done via a udev rule rather than an acpi script, but that's a whole other kettle of fish... ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 300523] Re: syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing
** Description changed: When I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10, the button on my Asus laptop that toggled the touchpad on and off stopped working. The button is controlled by the included /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh, which uses synclient to toggle the touchpad state. I turned on SHMConfig in my Xorg.conf and the button started working again. Now, however, when I have the touchpad disabled, syndaemon (run with -i 0.5) will re-enable it after I type something. This behavior was not observed in Ubuntu 8.04; I expect that syndaemon will set the touchpad back to its previous state after the typing timeout, as opposed to always returning it to the enabled state. My current workaround for this is to run syndaemon with -S, which apparently causes it to use the SHMConfig-based system instead of the new XInput-based system (reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948250page=2). - So, it seems to me that the XInput-based syndaemon should get this - behavior right too, unless of course the asus-touchpad.sh script is - toggling the touchpad status in an incorrect way. + So, it seems to me that the XInput-based syndaemon should get this behavior right too, unless of course the asus-touchpad.sh script is toggling the touchpad status in an incorrect way. + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller [8086:2590] (rev 04) + Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

[Bug 300523] Re: syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing
Further investigation of this issue has seen me return to the vanilla Xorg.conf (without SHMConfig turned on). The issue can be described more simply as follows. 1. syndaemon, as launched by the default Intrepid install, is using XInput to change the touchpad properties. 2. synclient uses SHMConfig to change touchpad properties, and requires SHMConfig to be set in Xorg.conf, even though it isn't by default. 3. /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh uses synclient to toggle the enabled state of the touchpad. Trying to use a mixed SHMConfig/XInput solution to control touchpad properties caused the issue I described initially. There are two solutions to this that I can see. One is to update synclient to use XInput instead of SHMConfig, to be in line with the recently-updated syndaemon. The other, which I have implemented as a workaround, is to edit the asus-touchpad.sh script to use XInput to toggle the touchpad on and off. The modified asus-touchpad.sh is attached; it now works correctly with syndaemon. ** Attachment added: modified asus-touchpad.sh, works through `xinput` instead of `synclient` now http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20235392/asus-touchpad.sh -- syndaemon turns disabled touchpad back on after typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
