I previously used Fn+F9 to disable/enable my touchpad for when I used an external mouse (when using Ubuntu 16.04). After upgrading to 18.04 I've found that when I hit that combination I get a graphic showing the touchpad icon with an "X" but it actually doesn't do anything at all.

  • I'm have just booted my Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (using MATE and GNOME DEs, with kernel 4.15.0-47, without Xorg HWE) on my UX32A. The loaded kernel modules are the same as yours. I have no problems: <Fn>+<F9> enables and disables touchpad normally. What is your desktop environment? Please add output of dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/send-events (for GNOME) or dconf read /org/mate/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad-enabled (for MATE) to the question.

    You might look at touchpad-indicator. It does all of this auto-magically.

    @N0rbert when advicing people to manually edit dconf setting, better advice to use gsettings, which is the cli frontend to dconf. One of the reasons is that the higher level gsettings includes consistency check for dconf. The command for gsettings would then be on 18.04: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'disabled'
