Similar issue on my dv7. Mouse was working in gdm, but stopped working once logged in.
Fixed the issue by editing the file ~/.gnome/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml (as also reported here) You can run the following command to "fix" the issue (fixed it for me). <pre> $ sed -e 's/\(touchpad_enabled.*\)false/\1true/' ~/.gnome/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart </pre> -- HP touchpad-disable switch damages mouse and focus capability https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546503 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
