Hi folks, I've just had a hard drive failure and have had to do a completely fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. I had it running beforehand and I had no problems with the touchpad, but because I'd upgraded from previous releases, I think I probably had some old settings.
I've got an Acer Aspire 5920G. Googling initially suggested that I checked xinput list to see if it was recognised. It generated this: ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] Now, I've since discovered that the media keys down the right-hand side of the keyboard serve as a second touchpad, and they work as an up/down scrolling device, but the main touchpad refuses to work. It can be disabled and enabled by the Fn-F7 combination, but this is shown as being enabled. I've found various references to HAL and xorg.conf, but I don't have an xorg.conf. I have an xorg.conf.d folder with similar looking files, but they're read only and I don't feel comfortable editing them for that reason. Any suggestions?
