My 2 pennyworth: Wishing to extend the time syndaemon disables the touchpad, I configured a 'startup application' consisting of "syndaemon -i 2 -d -K -t ". The option to 'disable the mouse when typing' (in the mouse settings) was still checked, and as soon as I started typing, the cursor froze. System monitor showed 2 instances of syndaemon running, which seems to have been the issue. Fixed it by unchecking the 'mouse setting option', leaving my startup command to do the job alone. Seems OK so far.
Does ANYONE know where the default settings for syndaemon can be changed, avoiding this workaround? I cannot find them anywhere! PS Possibly relevant is that the cursor (using a touchpad) froze both times I started Oneiric for the first time after a clean install. A USB mouse worked fine, and the problem went away on second start up each time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
