Hey folks,<br>I have a Toshiba NB505 netbook and previously had Maverick
installed. I did a fresh install (including completely clean /home
partition) of 12.04 and everything went well (including wifi working out
of the box now!). After the install completed, got to login screen,
everything working fine.<br>
<br>Shortly after logging in (around when I hit alt-f2 to launch a terminal), the touchpad completely stopped responding.<br><br>Troubleshooting steps completed including testing as well as rebooting after each step and verifying the config change stayed:<br>
# Had no effect<br>$ synclient TouchpadOff=0<br># Had no effect<br>$ gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/<div id=":10n">touchpad/touchpad_enabled true<br># Had no effect<br>Under System Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad -> Touchpad tab -> uncheck Disable touchpad while typing<br>
<br>I've also verified the latest xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed.<br><br>In
a virtual terminal (alt-ctrl-f1) evtest /dev/input/eventN (the
appropriate number based on what was listed in dmesg for the Synaptics
touchpad) shows no events at all from the device.<br>
<br>Xorg.0.log shows no errors (just the initial Synaptics device discovered for eventN and then again for mouseN).<br><br>The
key combination to turn on/off the touchpad (Fn+F9) does not have any
effect when all the other Fn combinations seem to work (wifi, numpad,
brightness, mute/unmute). The BIOS doesn't have an indicator for the
touchpad or an option to enable/disable it there.<br>
<br>One interesting point I've noticed is that on every boot, the eventN
corresponding to the touchpad increments by 1 (it's now up to event10).<br><br>For completeness:<br>$ synclient -l<br>Parameter settings:<br>
