    Touchpad Not working

    Hello all,

    Recently after installing the Leap Motion SDK my computer touchpad stopped functioning while I am using my Ubuntu 12.04 partition (I am dual-booting with Windows). The touchpad works completely fine when I am in Windows, but for some reason it is not responsive at all when I am in Ubuntu. I have to plug in a mouse via USB to maneuver around (beside using terminal). I have enabled my touchpad by going to 'xinput' on terminal, as some other forum post suggested, but my touchpad still is not working. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for the help!

    Possible solution: press F6. That often activates/deactivates touchpads.

    If you've tried that, or it doesn't work, I don't know.
