Thread: Unresponsive touchpad


hi all. there has been issue affecting several people on last few months in mouse or touchpad spontaneously becomes unresponsive. cursor still move, cannot click on anything.

thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576094) , others resolve issue unplugging usb mouse , plugging in different usb port. problem occurs touchpad cannot unplug.

know how can reassign touchpad port, or mimic unplugging/replugging solution people have used usb mice?

also, insight root cause of issue appreciated. guess must kernel problem. using updated ubuntu 10.10 i've had same issue on arch linux well, , on gnome, xfce, , xmonad.

turn off 'disable trackpad while typing' worked me on hp pavilion dm1-3200sa issue.

failing that:

ctrl-alt-f2
log tty
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

it's not elegant solution.
