[Bug 713278] Re: Touchpad Hotkey not working on Asus V6

[Cyrille]

Having the same issue. Script asus-touchpad.sh is called when pressing
special key, but nothing happens. With some debugging I found $XINPUTNUM
remains empty. When running script from console and getXconsole is
disabled everything works fine... Maybe this information helps resolving
this issue.

Title:
  Touchpad Hotkey not working on Asus V6

Status in acpi-support:
  Confirmed
Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpid

  The Hotkey for dis/enabling the touchpad isn't working for me.

  I tried to track the Problem down, but without luck.

  While pressing the key, acpi_listen says:

  hotkey ATKD 0000006b 00000000

  This is the correct entry in /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad.

  I've tried to run /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh manually, but all I got
  was:

  nordlicht at Demian:/etc/acpi$ ./asus-touchpad.sh 
  Couldn't find a filedescriptor that points to the terminal.

  nordlicht at Demian:/etc/acpi$ sudo ./asus-touchpad.sh 
  awk: line 1: regular expression compile failed (missing '(')
  :0)
  No protocol specified
  Unable to connect to X server

  After changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh I am able to run the Script manually (it works) but the hotkey is still useless.
