Fixed for F15. commit ab4ac947c66c232afcb874ac36bece6e652ed3cc Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Wed Oct 27 12:53:45 2010 +0100 media-keys: Show a touchpad-disabled if no touchpad When pressing the touchpad button on the keyboard, and there's no touchpad present, don't show a wrong state for the touchpad status, but always show a "touch disabled" popup. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614213 commit f6dcba4e954f3e910854f3c92fb69b157683267d Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Wed Oct 27 12:49:42 2010 +0100 mouse: Move "has touchpad" function to common/ So it can be reused. This also fixes a memory leak in the function. We were leaking the device list.
