[Bug 661111] [NEW] Disable button not functioning correctly on Synaptics Touchpad

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

My disable button for my Synaptics touchpad has never worked correctly
in Ubuntu. From the start the disable button has never functioned.

I managed to find a (sort of) fix to get the button to disable, and that
was to change the keybindings, the default value in gconf-editor did not
correspond to the actual shortcut key. The default value was
XF86TouchpadToggle, however when I created a keyboard shortcut the
disable button registers as Help, so I changed the value of the touchpad
key binding in gconf-editor and my touchpad works, but the problem is, I
have to press the disable button twice to get it to disable and twice to
re-neable it again. So I feel that there is more a persistent problem
with my machine.

My computer is a Compaq Presario CQ60-307EA, with the Synaptics
Touchpad.
