[Bug 1380377] [NEW] Can no longer turn off touchpad in 14.10

 

Public bug reported:

Since updating to 14.10, I can no longer disable my built in touchpad.
This worked fine in 14.04.

This is on an Acer UX32VD.

If I press the Fn-f9 hotkey, I get an on-screen popup that alternates
between "enabled" and "disabled", but the touchpad remains enabled.

The switch in the Mouse applet of System settings doesn't have any
effect either.
