Dear all,
on my MINT 19.1 notebook I can successfully disable the touchpad using
xinput disable 13.
When I try to enable the touchpad again with
xinput enable 13
it does not work (I do not get any error message on that).
When doing disabling and enabling with my "admin" user, it works.
But the regular "desktop" user can only disable the touchpad, but not re-enable it.
this is how my xinput looks:
xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB OPTICAL MOUSE id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Sony Vaio Jogdial id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sony Vaio Keys id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB2.0 Camera: USB2.0 Camera id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance,
