I have some new information, it seems that on boot, the touchpad settings are applied correctly, but then it seems that the kernel loses connection to the touchpad and reconnects, but once it does this, then the touchpad settings are lost
here is a kern.log file showing some interestering lines on whats happening when the touchpad screws up: ** Attachment added: "kern.log after the touchpad settings are reset" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17252823/kern.log%20%28when%20touchpad%20screws%20up%29 -- Touchpad settings do not save in mouse control panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
