The button to disable touchpad does not work as well. As a workaround I use "syndaemon -i 1 -K -d" command as per Ubuntu help page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/ but it does not fix the issue with the said chechbox and hardware button. I guess it still needs to access shared memory using SHMconfig option in xorg.conf in which case it is the same bug that has been around for 3 years starting from Ubuntu 11.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.7.3-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-6.23-generic 3.13.0 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-6-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Mar 21 10:10:18 2014 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
