Hello! I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 15 7579 2-in-1. I've tried running both the following: USB Flash Drive with 17.04, USB external hard drive with 16.04 LTS. In both the cursor jumps backwards when typing often. I'm using external devices because I want to make sure ubuntu will work or I'll return the computer. Syndaemon and the touchpad app don't do anything to disable the touchpad when typing. This solution looks promising so I tried entering in terminal " /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-quirks.conf" and when I do this message appears: "bash: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-quirks.conf: Permission denied". Not sure what I'm missing. I would like to try this solution if possible!
I'm not too well-versed in the inner workings of using terminal in ubuntu. Please let me know if you can help. Thank you!!!
I had the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 17 5000. Taking out the second TouchPad worked, but sadly didn't solve the problem. FTTB I've had to plug in a mouse and disable the touchpad...
I thought I could just as well post an easier way: just disable the driver! lsmod showed psmouse as being loaded (but unused). rmmod psmouse will remove the driver, but you want this to happen automatically. In that case, just blacklist it by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Code:blacklist psmouse
Many thanks it worked for me too with XPS 13 (9360). Previously the synclient parameters were not taken in account, now they are!
Thanks ddarling!
syndaemon was getting confused with both input devices, disabling Synaptics' did solve the issue. I also noticed, that the Synaptic's input device was not appearing after the laptop is suspended, before the fix.
Thanks!
Having LL0704:01 06CB:76AE Touchpad and SynPS/2 Touchpad listed in xinput and having entries for both in /proc/bus/input/devices this fix works, but after a while tapping and scrolling stops working. The cursor still works and of course the physical clicks.
Never happens in Windows or w/o the Section in the syn quirks config.
Ubuntu 17.04. Tried both 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 for a kernel. Driving me crazy.
Palm detection and the ability to disable the touchpad while typing is crucial.
Since both touchpads show up in /proc/bus/input/devices the kernel supports or at least acknowledges them right?
Which one am I supposed to use? Is LL0704:01 06CB:76AE the real one and SynPS/2 just a generic one?
Had the same behaviour on Dell XPS 13 9360 on Ubuntu 16.04 after disabling the generic Synaptics driver in xorg config and afterwards launching syndaemon with
Meanwhile – the generic Synaptic driver still disabled – I start syndaemon withCode:syndaemon -i 1 -R
and everything works as expected, incl. tap-to-click and two-finger-scrolling.Code:syndaemon -i 1 -d -t -K
Thank you so much. I bought an Inspiron 15 the other week. Excellent hardware.
The ONLY problem I was facing with ubuntu was having to constantly watch there the cursor was after resting my palms.
It didn't even occur to me there would be two devices!
