Description Karel Piwko 2010-03-13 10:46:22 UTC
Description of problem:

I tried to use gpoint-device-settings to disable touchpad entirely.
Although the touchpad status was set to off, touchpad is still working.

Xev shows XF86TouchpadToogle as Fn+F8 key, so it looks like X server is well configured. Even this setting is propagated to gpoint-device-settings (button switches touchpad status in General tab of gpoint-device-settings).

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

gpoint-device-settings-1.3.1-5.fc12
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.2.1-1.fc12
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.3.2-3.fc12

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable touchpad (either by keystroke, either in gpoint-device-settings)
2. Touch to touchpad
  
Actual results:

Touchpad should not work.

Expected results:

Touchpad is still working.

Additional info:
HW: Lenovo T500.
