Hi folks,

here’s something I came across while playing with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my eee pc 1005p: Apparently, to get the “disable touchpad” function key working (fn-f3), you have to deselect the “disable touchpad while typing” setting in the gnome control center-> mouse input settings.

I found that with the above setting enabled, if you hit the function key to disable the eee’s touchpad, it will get re-enabled on the first keypress.

Hope that fixes the problems for some of you using the eee pc 1005p model.
