I have the same problem. Just want to add, that it is possible to make touchpad usable permanently at startup with this command:
gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true However, keyboard problems still appear when I use touchpad on/off button (hp DV6500). Once I press this button, mouse moves, but doesn't click (inc. right/left click) on gnome related GUI desktop elements (gnome-panel, desktop). But strangely it does click on Avant window manager dock icons. Keyboard typing doesn't work, but again strangely some keyboard short-cuts seem to work e.g. ctrl+alt+backspace (xserver restart). I personally believe it is something deep and I would avoid using random workarounds which doesn't fix the root of the problem. Also there may be no problems with synaptic, because live CD works fine for me. I turn on and off my touch-pad without loosing keyboard functionality or having other crashes. This may be related to updates originated after official release of Ubuntu 10.04, including new kernel updates. -- Keyboard does not work when touchpad disable button pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
