Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure that this will work for me though, since /dev/adb does not seem to exist.

After a bit more searching....would using mkinitrd be a possible fix?

Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on a 2011 macbook air.

I have noticed over the last month that the trackpad does not always seem to load at startup. I can log in ok, and the 'pointer' will...

Hi,
I am looking to create a keybinding that will disable the trackpad. I used dconf editor and the settings gui to set 'disable trackpad while typing' and it doesn't seem to be working.

Nope. Haven't changed any defaults. Though I am using Lubuntu, which uses LXDE desktop, rather than Ubuntu.

I'm goin try reinstalling, as I'd like to change my partitions a bit anyway.

I tried it. This is the response. Do you think possibly something went wrong with install?

Hello,
I just updated to 12.04 on macbook air 4,1. Overall, I'm very impressed on how easy the installation went, compared to 11.10.

Having said that, I'm having a problem with the post install...

Sorry...I've been offline for a while during finals week. Have since reinstalled with 12.04 and trackpad appears to be working fine with the synaptics driver, so I think I'll just stick with that...

A quick question. I bought my macbook air about 2 months ago. I am assuming based on some posts I read that it is a macbook 4.2.

My question is (just want to make sure I'm reading this right) is...

Splooshie,

Anychance you could walk me through what you did. I'm wondering if I'm having the same problem, as installing mtrack hasn't changed any functionality, however, I'm pretty sure it...

It appears to have installed, as both of the files you mentioned are there. Also, I was able to find the configuration file mentioned in the post, so it should be good to go.

I'll start a new...

Thanks for all your help.

The installation seemed to go fine...well, I didn't recieve any errors anyway.

However, after rebooting, and double checkings the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, the driver...

Sorry to be such a newb here, but when you say


Sometimes a package will provide 'autogen.sh' to help with this, but this one doesn't do that either. So let's make one in the top-level directory...

There is no such file...the computer says.

There is a configure.h.in and a configure.ac file in the directory. These are the only two configure files when I type ls -a.

Sorry for all the newb...

Ok. I tried to run autogen.sh, and it says command not found. When I tried automake, it returned that automake was not found but could be found in the following packages:

Hi all,
I am trying to get mtrack working on mac-air. It didn't install correctly when I ran the script used to update drivers.

So I am following these instructions from the mtrack thread,...

It's working now. My function keys are unavailable/not working in Lubuntu so I used m for mouse instead. Works like a charm.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Rodney.
The thread you directed me to is what I'm looking for. However, it didn't work. I'm wondering if my function keys are even being detected at all though, as none of them seem to do...

This option appears not to be present in Lubuntu. If I remember correctly, I think you might be referring to Ubuntu instead, as I think that sounds like the layout.
I do have a "mouse and keyboard"...

Hello,
