I have an HP 430 PC-Notebook using Oneiric. And sometimes my touchpad just stops working.(I haven't installed anything, just safe playing with terminal following linuxcommand.org

In Windows, I could two-finger touch to toggle locking the touchpad.

And as far as I know, Ubuntu doesn't have this function so I don't think that's the problem...

  • By "hole", I think you are referring to the little toggle button on the upper left to turn it on and off.

There seems to be a bug. I'm running ubuntu release 11.10 and this problem occurred regulary. I solved this issue by un-checking the setting to disable the touchpad while typing in the Mouse and Touchpad setting application.
