Synaptic touchpad disabled after boot

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1643 / 1 Year ago, tue, april 25, 2023, 10:21:54

Every time I restart Ubuntu the touch pad is set to disabled. I have to manually trigger it via the keyboard short cut (FN + F7). How can I set it so it is automatically enabled?

Instead of manually "enable touchpad", you can add the command in startup application.

xinput list

You can access any element by its ID.

Enable Touch pad device by setting to "1"

xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 1

You can add this command in startup applications

This is not a recommended solution, if you find any better solutions prefer them.
