Public bug reported: The touchpad cannot working after LID close/open on HP Presario CQ45 machines.
The reproduce steps: 1) Boot into Ubuntu 14.04 2) Close LID 3) Open LID Result: The mouse cursor cannot move. I also found if I do close/open LID again, the mouse cursor can works again. After analysis, when the LID is closed kbc emits an event (D8) and udev remapping it to F21 (touchpad toggle event). When X server receives the event, it disables touchpad. However there is no corresponding event triggered after LID is opened thus X server does not enable the touchpad and results in this issue. Currently udev keymaping for presarion CQ is: # Presario keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnHewlett-Packard*:pn*Presario*CQ*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_d8=f21 KEYBOARD_KEY_d9=f21 I think it should be changed to: # Presario keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnHewlett-Packard*:pn*Presario*CQ*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_d8=!f23 # touchpad off KEYBOARD_KEY_d9=!f22 # touchpad on ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410022 Title: Touchpad cannot work after LID close/open due to wrong key mapping To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1410022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
