Bug Description

My trackpad has been randomly shutting off. I have an Acer Aspire 5553, running Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 x64. My keyboard will still be completely active, but the trackpad will just randomly shut off. Any thoughts?

bug #868400 is similar, do you use gestures or 2 finger scrolling? does it happen in particular usecases?

Britt Yazel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
