Recent install of Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell XPS 15, same issue.
ii xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.8.2-1ubuntu3
amd64 Synaptics TouchPad driver for
X.Org server
e
At startup, the touchpad still clicks while typing:
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ ps -ef | fgrep synd
elis 4337 4151 0 09:30 ? 00:00:00 syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R
elis 4842 4785 0 09:30 pts/17 00:00:00 grep -F --color=auto synd
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ killall syndaemon
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ syndaemon -dtkRi 1
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ ps -ef | fgrep synd
elis 4848 3932 0 09:30 ? 00:00:00 syndaemon -dtkRi 1
elis 4882 4785 0 09:31 pts/17 00:00:00 grep -F --color=auto syt
After running these commands nothing has changed. Removing the -t option
and the -R option don't seem to have an impact (some bugs elsewhere
claim that would resolve the issue; it did not).
It seems that sometimes after a reboot things work, but it's difficult
to tell if it's actually working, or I'm just not being heavy-handed
with my palms.
Happy to troubleshoot.
