i think this bug is a dupe of bug #868400 (or the other way around) the problem is that synaptic and gnome both disable the touchpad and go out of sync (ie: when one enables the touchpad, the other disables it)
the keyboard issues might be a different bug, probably a apps stealing focous. either way, most people where are describing is the #868400 bug. that bug have a workaround (ie: disable the gnome "disable touchpad" keybinding) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546503 Title: HP touchpad-disable switch damages mouse and focus capability To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/546503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
