Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acpi-support
My thinkpad has Fn+F8 as hotkey for disabling the touchpad on the fly. However, it is not working on an uptodate karmic (I've just upgraded yesterday). I have traced the problem down to this line of code in /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh: TPSTATUS=`xinput list-props $XINPUTNUM | grep "Synaptics Off" | cut -f4` running this manually does not do anything. changing this line to: TPSTATUS=`xinput list-props $XINPUTNUM | grep "Synaptics Off" | cut -f3` makes it work again. Since this parsed output from the xinput tool, I suspect this is broken on asus laptops too, as I dont see why the output would be any different there. ** Affects: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Fn+F8 on thinkpad not working (and possibly on asus too) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447211 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
