I'm running Linux Mint 11 "Katya", which is based on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. I just tried the trick in reply #5, adding the hotkey to gnome- keybinding-properties, and the Fn+F9 combination finally works to enable and disable the touchpad on my Asus G73JH laptop. I did not have to edit or alter /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh at all.
What I find interesting is that the hotkey event handler /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad does not appear to work at all, even though it has the proper hotkey definition according to acpi_listen. As far as I could tell, the hotkey was not being trapped at all. With Ubuntu 10.10, I had the opposite issue: The hotkey event handler worked, properly passing control to asus-touchpad.sh, but the sh script itself would hang at the first "xinput" command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713278 Title: Touchpad Hotkey not working on Asus V6 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
