[Bug 1464561] [NEW] Hotkey enable/disable touchpad does nothing

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Running Xubuntu on an Asus UX303LN laptop.

The touchpad disable/enable hotkey (F9) does nothing.  This makes it
very hard to use the machine since the touchpad is constantly capturing
random "mouse movements", making it impossible to enter text in the
right place.

When I use the machine I have an external bluetooth mouse, and disable
the touhpad in the settings menu, so I can type, but it would be much
better to have the option to use the touchpad, and switch it on/off.

Also, if the bluetooth connection is lost, then I can do nothing and
have to reboot!

I have no idea how to debug this but would be happy to help.

Another hotkey that does not work is F2 "airplane mode". This one is of
no importance to me, but I mention it for completeness.

I am really hoping for a fix!

I am a Ubuntu beta-tester from long ago, and helped on the 1st 64bit
version!

Let me know, please!,
Cheers,
Bob

I have attached all the files specified on the hotkey bug reporting
page. I put them in an archive since that seems to be the only option
for attaching multiple files?
