I just marked another 3 duplicates and agree that many people could be affected.
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 clickable left/right buttons are part of the touchpad! Their surface does move the pointer too and makes them nearly unusable. So users are forced to enable tapping to click, staggering again into this bug while typing. Many Samsung laptops or Asus EeePCs have Elantech touchpads and might be affected. Fixing this bug could ease such problems with bad touchpad drivers or hardware. @admin: please consider to raise the importance of this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240738 Title: syndaemon sometimes fails to disable the touchpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/240738/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
