The other thing I notice is that there's a separate touchpad device that's registered between the first and second detections of the keyboard:

But I guess something about the remove/re-add of the keyboard leaves the touchpad in an inconsistent state. So it's either a kernel driver or an X driver issue... udev is just the messenger here, passing through the add/remove shown it by the kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936552 Title: MacBookAir 4,1 trackpad does not work with evdev/multitouch driver Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This has been the case since very early on when I updated to precise, and I have tried with every kernel since 3.2.0-9. The trackpad works in a diminished manner (tap to click doesn't work) in the oneiric kernels. If I power on the machine from being powered off, and boot into the regular precise kernel, the trackpad does not work. However, if I boot into the 3.2.1-030201 kernel, the trackpad works. Rebooting without powering off, into the precise kernel, also renders a working trackpad, suggesting that the 3.2.1 drivers perhaps do something to initialize or reset the trackpad. This failed with the synaptics and mtrack xorg drivers, so I don't think this is specific to the X drivers, nor is it a new symptom from the recent X update.
