[Bug 664717] [NEW] touchpad on/off hotkeys do not work anymore after upgrading to Maverick 10.10

[Laurent Martin-Borret]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to Maverick 10.10, the 2 special keys that were formerly working with Lucid 10.04 do not work anymore.
These two keys are:
- one dedicated keyboard button
- the Fn+F9 combination

These hotkeys are supposed to enable/disable the touchpad (same behavior
for both keys).

xev returns the following info when pressing either hotkey:

lmartinb at mmb-laptop:~$ xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), .*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p'
keycode 191 = (keysym 0x1008ff81, XF86Tools), state = 0x10
keycode 191 = (keysym 0x1008ff81, XF86Tools), state = 0x10

All other hotkeys work as with Lucid 10.04.
