Touchpad switch key on Dell M501R works inverted

[Antonio J]

When I use switch key to enable/disable synaptics touchpad on a Dell M501R it works inverted: when I want to enable it, it shows an image with touchpad off, and viceversa.

1) lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release: 11.10

2) -

3) pushing key to disable touchpad, it shows touchpad enabled, but it is switched off

4) pushing touchpad switch should shows touchpad is off when I switch it off
Thanks (sorry for my english...)

Antonio J, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
