The best place to report this is the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package (FreeDesktop Bugs). NOTE that this question is aiming exclusively at using in X(ubuntu) the hardware option that the laptop has (that is the 'dip', that button), and NOT at finding a workaround, a terminal command or a software option to disable the touchpad. But maybe this has not much to do with the above question) But if I shut down completely (shut down, not restart) and boot in Ubuntu, this setting is reset and the touchpad is active. (A funny thing: when I disable the touchpad in Windows and then restart in Ubuntu the touchpad cannot be enabled and is not seen as disabled in Ubuntu.
(I am not talking about How to quickly enable/disable touchpad in Xubuntu - that I know.) I want a solution to get that working without scripts and commands. A small red light is seen when disabled.Ĭan I activate this feature in Ubuntu? I do not want a workaround. In Windows I can use its special area (a small dip) in the upper left corner of the touchpad to disable / enable on double click. If not possible, then please consider this a feature request.I have a laptop HP-Pavilion-g (1246-ef) running in dual boot Windows and Xubuntu. So I'd like to disable "drag continues at touchpad edge" and enable "require additional tap to stop dragging". Or just anything that requires precision. This mechanism is stupendously irritating when trying to pixel-precise drag a trackbar, or when doing some I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edges, but that I find greatly irritating because it looses all sense of precision.
Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it.
That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads.
