[Bug 1305522] Re: Backport Synaptics HID touchpad driver for 14.04

 

I have an XPS13 Hasswell (running Ubuntu Gnome 14.04) and I installed the kernel proposed in #44. Nothing broken, touchscreen and touchpad working and PS/2 not showing in xinput BUT touchpad does not get locked when typing, which is getting incredibly annoying. Anyone else having the same problem?
                                                                                    
I checked in dconf (under org > gnome > settings daemon > peripherals > touchpad) and the disable-when-typing option in checked. I also tried adding more idle time with syndaemon but then the two finger scrolling stopped working.  I don't know if this is a problem of the driver or a completely different matter, so please forgive me if this is not the right place to tell.  (To be honest, I think I had the same problem when I had i2c_hid blacklisted; but I thought this driver would correct those things)
