Bug Description
The touchpad does not work as expected. It can't be enabled or disabled through FN+F11 combination.
The light (in the pad) always turns on, regardless of its non functionality.
The problem seems related to bug #1523738, and some say solution #24 (https:/
WORKAROUND: Executing the following via a terminal allows one to disable and enable the touchpad:
xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0
But it only works if it is enabled from the beginning from the systems configuration GUI. If it is disabled, it doesn't do the expected behavior.
