Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acpi-support
My thinkpad has Fn+F8 as hotkey for disabling the touchpad on the fly. However,
it is not working on an uptodate karmic (I've just upgraded yesterday). I have
traced the problem down to this line of code in /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh:
TPSTATUS=`xinput list-props $XINPUTNUM | grep "Synaptics Off" | cut -f4`
running this manually does not do anything. changing this line to:
TPSTATUS=`xinput list-props $XINPUTNUM | grep "Synaptics Off" | cut -f3`
makes it work again.
Since this parsed output from the xinput tool, I suspect this is broken on asus
laptops too, as I dont see why the output would be any different there.
