This bug affects me too. On my MacbookPro 6-2, I see that syndaemon is running, but it doesn't seem to be working as I would expect. Here's my ps output which shows how syndaemon was started: $ ps aux | grep syndaemon michael 1827 0.0 0.0 29180 1072 ? S Oct30 0:20 syndaemon -i 0.5 -k
This is the standard setting before I made any changes. I think .5 is enough of a delay, but I did a test and found that even when it was supposedly "disabled", it still takes clicks from my touchpad: Opened a terminal and right-clicked the title bar and chose: 'Always on top' Entered the command: syndaemon -i 0.5 -k As I typed in another field, I saw: Disable Enable Disable Enable I also randomly tapped on the touchpad as I was typing. I was able to get the mouse click to register even when the sysdaemon said: "disabled." It wasn't every time, but certainly enough to cause problems during normal use. I also tried changing the timeout from .5 sec to 10 sec, and repeated the above experiment. It showed the same results: even though it stated "Disabled", the mousepad continued to register clicks and reposition my cursor (though not immediately.) -- Touchpad should block while typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
