Bug Description
I tested Lucid on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and x61. The Function Key FN+F8 should change the mouse Trackpoint or Touchpad behaviour. In Karmic I was able to enable / disable the Touchpad for the current X session.
In Lucid nothing happens for this Key. I get an acpi event: ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001008.
I think it would be the best to open gnome-mouse-

Hans,
Could you run apport-collect -p linux 506442
so that we can get the relevant data on this issue?
Thanks in advance,

also, could you identify for me the kernel in which this last worked? We'd like to bisect the posibility to determine the exact issue.

i tried apport-collect -p linux 506442 and answered several questions. At the end the tool exited with an error message: "The problem cannot be reported: It is not a Ubuntu package". So I'm not able to provide the requested data at the moment.
The Kernel I used in Karmic was 2.6.31-16-generic #53 Ubuntu.
I used acpi_listen to see what happens when pressing fn + f8. The event is the same in karmic and lucid:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001008
The next I did is that I have compared the relevant acpi related files in /etc/acpi/ for this hotkey:
/etc/acpi/
/etc/acpi/
and /etc/acpi/
All three files are the same in lucid and karmic.
I checked the scripts itself and found the following differences:
In Karmic I get the number for the correct Synaptics input device using this command line from
asus-touchpad:
xinput list 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' | sed -n -e's/.*
Instead in Lucid I only get
"unable to find device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
In Xorg.0.log I found
...
"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" : touchpad found

Turning off the touchpad does not seem to work in Karmic reliably either
- after a few minutes of operating the mouse with the stick, the
touchpad was functional again.
Test:
Press Fn-F8 to disable touchpad
Use touchpad, it's disabled
Open a terminal, write and use the stick for mouse operation
Use touchpad, it's enabled
Expected outcome:
Touchpad stays disabled

xinput list seems to behave differently. I added a pipe grep statement to the script and it works for me now in Lucid.

I committed the patch to acpi-support bzr (with a few formal fixes). However, bzr head currently has a lot of other changes, so I need to coordinate with Steve whether this is okay to upload.

Reopening, as in the latest Lucid the trackpad is disabled by default and the f8 doesn' t enable it.

That's an unrelated bug, then; please open a separate report - probably against the kernel. (Definitely not acpi-support)

This is probably a bug in Ubuntu, which is a different project from Lucid, an editor. So I have marked the bug invalid for Lucid, but reassigned it to the Ubuntu team for them to take a look at.
