Description Linuxguy123 2008-10-07 18:16:51 UTC
Description of problem:

The touchpad "off" button doesn't disable the touchpad.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q synaptics
synaptics-0.14.6-3.fc8

$ rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-3.5.10-2.fc8

The laptop is an HP hdx9494. 

Let me know if you need more information, ie the keycode that gets sent for the touchpad off button.  (Tell me how to get it... )

How reproducible:

Everytime.  I've never been able to make the touchpad button off button work. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Boot the laptop, log into a KDE session. 
2. Press the touchpad off button.
  
Actual results:

The mouse cursor still moves if one touches the pad. 

Expected results:

The mouse cursor should not move if one touches the pad.

Additional info:

I installed Ksynaptics.   With it installed, one can disable the touchpad by right clicking the icon in the panel and disabling "Touch Pad Enabled".  That works.  

Kudos to the ksynaptics developers.  It works really well.

Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2008-10-23 07:29:46 UTC
Please run xev and post the output after hitting the button here.

Also, please add your xorg.conf and your xorg.log file

Comment 2 Linuxguy123 2008-10-23 16:32:12 UTC
xev doesn't record an event for pressing the touchpad disable button.

See the attachments for my xorg.conf and xorg.log files

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2008-10-24 01:36:09 UTC
Please run lshal -m and hit the button and post the output here.

If xev doesn't even see the event, there isn't much we can do from the X server side.

Comment 6 Linuxguy123 2008-10-24 13:19:54 UTC
lshal -m doesn't show an event either.   It shows events for other laptop specific buttons, but not the touchpad button.

The touchpad button does turn the touchpad off in Vista.

Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2008-10-27 07:11:48 UTC
Please grab a copy of evtest from people.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest.c, compile it up with "gcc -o evtest evtest.c" and then run it with "sudo ./evtest /dev/input/eventX", where the eventX is your keyboard device (you can get that from /proc/bus/input/devices)

Does it register any event there?

Thanks for sticking with this.

Comment 9 Peter Hutterer 2008-11-05 00:39:38 UTC
I'll have to shove this to hal-info. Have you had the chance of trying F9 or F10 and see if it has been fixed in a more recent version? F8 will soon be out of date so the chances of getting this bug fixed is higher if we have reports for more recent versions.

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 11:13:47 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 11 Linuxguy123 2008-11-27 14:55:18 UTC
I've upgraded to F10 and this problem still exists.  I'm bumping the version to F10.

Comment 12 Peter Hutterer 2008-11-27 22:51:15 UTC
Please attach a new run of evtest to make sure it's not a different issue we're having now.

Comment 13 Linuxguy123 2008-11-27 23:53:01 UTC
It looks like the same codes are generated, but now I get a bit of funniness while its waiting for the next key.  Ie it prints the "@" symbol.  The code itself is still 4,4 and d8/d9.

I really need this to work because the synaptics driver doesn't allow me to turn it off via the widget.  I'm hoping the touchpad key will allow me to do this. 

Thanks

In case anyone is wondering, this is still a problem with the latest updates to F11.

Comment 15 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 12:15:39 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 10:45:24 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
