Thank you for taking the time to reporth this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
It's reasonable that the asus-touchpad.sh script would work when run manually, but not when run by acpi-support; this script needs to connect to the X server to toggle the touchpad, and it doesn't do that, relying instead on an older insecure method of configuring the touchpad. This needs to be corrected, perhaps using the getXconsole function from power-funcs. ** Changed in: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- asus touchpad toggling doesn't work (synclient) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
