Re: touchpad can't be re-enabled after disabled

what's the output of :

synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff

if it's 1, you can try this:

synclient TouchpadOff=0

No matter what I do the output is always TouchpadOff  = 0. Running 
that command didn't induce any change in behavior.

 Hi,


 I have a new laptop (Acer 5738 mentioned in a different thread) which I
 have a nagging problem with:


 I have this nice and useful button right next to the touchpad, for
 disabling it (when working with mouse and using the keyboard and prefer
 not having pointer distracted by occasional touches on the touchpad
 while typing).


 The problem is that when I use it, all is gute and the touchpad is
 disabled but when I try to re-enable the touchpad its still disabled.
 This is fixed only after a shutdown of the system, or suspend of it.


 I failed to find any useful help on the web.


 When I run hal-device or lspci (-v) I find nothing like touchpad or
 synaptic.


 Any tip?

man synclient

By the way, my acer toggles mousepad-on state every time you push it, so your 
situation is definitely not normal. I have a feeling the next Ubuntu will fix 
it, and maybe you can file a Ubuntu bug report to make sure of that fact.
