1. It seems that I've found a workaround that is slightly less ugly than 'killall gnome-settings-daemon' from my first comment. When I press the disable button while mouse pointer is over an open menu (gnome main menu e.g.), a next click to re-enable the touchpad is not freezing the keyboard.
2. I am not sure, but the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (1.2.2-1ubuntu4) package may be responsible for the bug. I suppose so, because after removing this package the bug disappeared. (My touchpad was working. But cursor's dynamics made it unusable; so I've re-installed the package). P.S. I use HP dv6000 series laptop with Ubuntu Lucid (amd64) upgraded from Karmic. -- Keyboard does not work when touchpad disable button pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571638 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
