[Bug 953296] Re: Elantech touchpad cannot be toggled

[Steve Langasek]

Hi James,

Instead of creating a separate script for this, could you please add
support for the Elantech touchpads to the asus-touchpad.sh script?  That
way we future-proof against doing stupid shell tricks in the event that
some future ASUS or Lenovo model uses these touchpads.

Also, do you have a new /etc/acpi/events/ rule to go with this?

Title:
  Elantech touchpad cannot be toggled

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There is no support for disabling an Elantech touchpad.

  There is the script /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh, which should probably
  be called synaptics-touchpad.sh, because it only toggles synaptics
  touchpads.  There should be an equivalent script for Elantech
  touchpads.

  I will attach some relevant info - output from xinput list, xinput
  list-props, and a candidate script modeled after asus-touchpad.sh.
