Hi, check whether you have "synclient" installed and you can use command below to check touchpad's status. `synclient -l | grep -i "touchpadoff" | sed -e "s/\s*//g"` On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 8:39 PM, Sergei Sinyak wrote:

lspci does NOT show synaptic device On Apr 15, 2015 2:03 PM, "Sergei Sinyak" wrote:

Randomly synaptic doesn't work. Usually while booting there are message about psmouse module loading and detecting synaptic. But rarely there are no messages about loading driver. And of course it doesn't work.

Im using gnome-shell as DM

How can I try to detect it?

While disappearing lspci also does show synaptic device. Any other way?

Ah, and reboot always turns touchpad back.

Thanks in advace.

P.S. was experiencing it since 3.9 maybe or even earlier

I tried to reproduce problem and it looks like stable atleast twice. Ill try to find clue with stopping gdm On Apr 15, 2015 5:29 PM, "Sergei Sinyak" wrote:

It stays: couldnt find synaptics properties

Looks like it disappears on a hardware layer, because when it's working synclient reports list of properties.

P.S. was trying to reproduce problem, and happend in the the following way: reboot, then systemctl stop gdm, reboot and that's it On Apr 15, 2015 4:37 PM, "Syrone Wong" wrote:
