You can get to the "Pointing Devices" config programme without a mouse by using the command "gpointing-device-settings".
I have a related, but apparently separate issue (bug #783641) as hitting the disable touchpad button twice won't restart my pointer. However, it seems that this button issues something like the following to your hardware: #! /bin/sh xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Off" 0 xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Off" 1 As a workaround, resetting the touchpad should be quicker if you dump the code above into a shell script file, substituting "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" for whatever the name of your device is (try xinput --list to find out what it's called) Hope that helps, Tom -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782143 Title: touch pad mouse is standard locked right after login -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
