I have a problem that may be related to this. I have a HP-dv7 2040 US Quad Core 17" Laptop.
The touchpad has a tiny button just above it that allows touchpad availability to be toggled on or off. When the touchpad is on, the button glows white, and it glows orange when off. Under the previous version of Ubunutu (9.04) it worked perfectly as it should. However, since doing a fresh install of Lucid (10.04) the pressing of this button to either turn the touchpad on or off will freeze the keyboard, the cursor becomes a transparent box while in Gnome-Terminal, and the menus will not expand or work when I click them with my Bluetooth mouse. Simply put, that little toggle button freezes the GUI session. The only way I have found to recover is to press and hold the power switch to turn the unit off. (Very bad!) Occasionally however, I am able to successfully Ctr-Alt-F1 into a terminal, login as root, and perform a shutdown - but not always. On the bright side, at least the new version (10.04) can successfully detect my laptop's best video mode, unlike 9.04. :) -- Mouse and keyboard become unresponsive on Asus Eee PC 1005HA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
