Title:
syndaemon sometimes fails
Thanks Peter! I did't get notification of your updates to this bug but just
upgraded to 12.04 LTS and can confirm that the trackpad is successfully
disabled while typing! Thank you so much!!!
Plus I noticed I can click-and-hold with one finger while sliding another
finger for click-and-drag

I'm still a little confused as to why using syndaemon is necessary at
all, though, when synclient doesn't seem to be affected by whether it's
running or not and has many more

I'm also affected by this seemingly small, but extremely annoying bug

Could you please expand on how palm detection is unreliable? I agree
that setting a two second delay sucks as a general cure for wandering
hands and fingers, but as far as I know the PalmMinZ/PalmMinWidth (I
think those are correct) and general touch sensitivity settings still
work--or are they
I'm terribly sorry for the dumb double-post, but I forgot to specify
that these settings are located in xorg.conf's input section or in a
more flexible xorg.conf.d rule file. This could also probably be
accomplished with an init rule, although that seems a bit heavy-handed,
especially if the

I tested a Samsung SF510 with an Elantech touchpad where this bug really
hurts: its palm detection is very unreliable. Finger clicks are detected
if a palm is 3 mm *ABOVE* the touchpad surface! Even worse: the

I believe there are a lot more people affected. This is the only reason
that I am still using OS X since I got the MCP about 9 months ago.
I also think this is a problem affecting all the laptops with large
touchpad. Before I bought the MBP, I tried the HP Envy 15, with exactly
the same problem.
Well, I decided to add myself as this is seriously annoying. I have a
MacBook Pro with a HUGE trackpad and anytime I go near a the y, u, 6 or

Othertimes it will randomly copy a block of text and then the next key

Hello,
I am running ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Inspiron laptop n 5010. I get exactly the
same touchpad problem as described by everyone else even though I've ticked the
Disable touchpad while typing option.

resolving it
I am puzzled why there are only ten people affected by this bug. It
drives me absolutely crazy and I am forced to disable touchpad clicks.
How can so few people be complaining? Is it hardware-specific? Do other
laptop touchpads disable themselves in the hardware rather than relying
on the
I'm sure it affects many more people.

Well, it might be sort of related. I'm pretty sure it worked when I booted from

be that the difference is the SHMConfig flag. If

duplicates of this bug are more than 5 years old, and at least for me it
causes significant annoyances while typing. In my opinion it should not
be classified as Low importance. Can it get more attention please?
Also, how can it be both Triaged and Unassigned? Is this a bug
