Comment 568 for bug 550625

Hi @seth,

First off, thanks for the patch, it works like a charm on my DELL Latitude E6510.

I just acquired a Dell Precision M6400. The default Mouse and Touchpad settings don't give me the possibility to deactivate the touchapd alltogether, so I installed your patch from comment #492. But it does not seem to install correctly: no gpointing-device-settings binary is available...

Here are the hardware details:

P.S.: Just found a python script that allows me to disable/enable the touchpad using Fn+F5: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1526462 so it's not urgent, maybe not even necessary to have your patch work on the DELL Prescision M6400...
