Hello,

I was using Fedora 20 yesterday with my USB mouse, and all was working fine. Today, after reboot, it doesn't detect any touchpad. I have synaptics installed (latest version). After another reboot, it detects my touchpad, but is unusable. I have tried changing the sensitivity, but no luck. Clicking does not work either. I have the Lenovo G510. The touchpad itself works becuase it works fine in Windows 8 (this is a dual boot).

Thanks for your help!

Some Options:

1) Switch the power outlet, and make sure you are running on native voltage (e.g. 110 V vs 240 V)

2) Create a new user, and do not change the sensitivity of the touchpad.

3) Reinstall in GNOME, sometimes this is a KDE issue (just an idea). I had none of these problems in GNOME.

Many features of the touch pad are off by default, like click by tapping the touch pad.
You need to be sure that you have enabled all the features you need.

No, the touchpad itself doesn't work. I cant move it. sysclient -l returns Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
