[Bug 600115] [NEW] Inactive touchpad randomly on HP Pavillon dv6800

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

- By turning on the computer, the touchpad is recognized, it runs on the login screen. Very rarely (in an apparently random), the touchpad does not work once logged into the account of the user A (can not move the cursor or click). If we return to the login screen or we log on to the account of user B, the touchpad works again, but still does not work in the user's session A.
- A solution has been found to temporarily fix the bug: deactivate / reactivate the touchpad, click with a mouse on the gnome-menu (Application, Shortcuts, System): the menu highlights as if it was selected but not is opened. Now we log on to the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1) then we return to the graphical session (Ctrl + Alt + F7) and the touchpad works.
- Each time the touchpad was recognized by xinput.
- This bug has appeared on two HP Pavilion dv6800 with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (never had this bug in previous versions of Ubuntu).
