Hi... first of all... congratulations for the great work, I really enjoy Deepin.

Yesterday, after an update and a reboot I discovered that my touchpad is not responding. I see the mouse arrow in the middle of the screen but it is not moving or reacting to any click.

In case it is useful, I have a MacAir, the 11 inch one.

Please heeeelp

Correction... click, four fingers etc. works well, the only problem is the pointer that doesn't move.

Has your touchpad left/right button worked? if not please update logs by exec 'sudo deepin-feedback-cli'.
If worked,  Please exec 'synclient |grep TouchpadOff', if the output is not 'TouchpadOff=0', exec 'synclient TouchpadOff=0', now your touchpad will work.

And you can alse edit the file  '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf', delete the following lines, then reboot.

  1.      Option "PalmDetect" "1"
  2.      Option "PalmMinWidth" "6"
  3.      Option "PalmMinZ" "50"
Copy the Code

https://bbs.deepin.org/user/33250 the last part worked for me on my Asus UX305CA, but the synclient touchpadoff is 2. Should I switch it to 0? It's working from just deleting those lines from the .conf

TouchpadOff=2 will disable move and tap function.

Actually, I fixed it.... but I didn't have time to post the solution.

After the update was the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and following an advice from the Debian web page, I just removed it.
