Public bug reported: After a few minutes of usage, the touchpad will stop responding to multi-touch gestures, like two-finger scrolling, and tap to click is not possible. I have had luck with reenabling these features from time to time by running
'synclient TouchpadOff=0' although this only works about 1 in 10 times. It should be noted, that sometimes re touchpad becomes completely unresponsive instead of just not responding to multi-touch and tapping. When this is the case, the above command fixes the issue until next reboot. I have tried collecting some debugging info, but I noticed, that xev does not give any output, when two fingers are touching the touchpad. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "xev logfile" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284623/+attachment/3996096/+files/xev.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284623 Title: 'Elantech Touchpad' becomes semi-unresonsive after a few minutes in 'ASUS N56VJ-S4143H' Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After a few minutes of usage, the touchpad will stop responding to multi-touch gestures, like two-finger scrolling, and tap to click is not possible.
