My laptop is an HP-2000 2d19wm, running Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon & windows 8 (happens in both). I gave up and bought a wireless mouse, which works great, but it's nice to be able to sometimes control the pointer without having an external peripheral that I often have no where to put. I have been fighting this touchpad for weeks trying to find a solution. In Linux I can restart the mouse driver from the command-line to get the touchpad working properly again.
That sems to reset the touchpad somehow so that it works again for a while. The only (partial) solution I've found is to work around the problem by suspending the laptop and then waking it again. So it's probably not a driver problem (since the Windows and Linux drivers are different) but something in the hardware or firmware. I updated the driver to version 16.5.5.1 (dated ) but I still have the same symptoms.Īlso worth noting is that exactly the same problem occurs when I'm running Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) on the same machine. You might still be able to move the mouse pointer, as I can.)
(Try on your Toshiba to use the square inch in the top-left corner of your touchpad. The touchpad works fine for 10-20 minutes, then suddenly only the top-left corner moves the pointer and the other five sixths of the touchpad are an enormous scrolling area, as if the scrolling edges suddenly got much wider. For what it's worth, I have the same problem with an HP 250 G1, which also has a Synaptics touchpad, possibly the same part.
