> Question is when will one issue this warning - perhaps on each reboot after touchpad disabled?
An idea fell to my head: if this information is available to the software, then: 1) the OS could keep an eye on the state of the touchpad, and at the moment it gets disabled, notify the desktop user (with a notification, warning popping up). 2) put an indicator onto the desktop panel (an icon that would indicate the current state of the touchpad, similarly to the keyboard layout, and battery, and time). If one clicks the icon, there should be some help about it, so that the user can learn about this feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080788 Title: wishlist: show a warning if the touchpad hardware has been disabled (with F9) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ac100/+bug/1080788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
