Some additional information which causes me to believe that this _might_ be a problem with X11 (or perhaps with both): Now, when I reboot my system, my touchpad works when gdm is running but as soon as I am logged into my user account, my touchpad stops working. I cannot find anything in the user interface that would permit me to re-enable it, so now I have to use a USB-attached mouse to work with the mouse at all (or use the numeric keypad, but that's a pain to do). I cannot seem to re- enable it by pressing the button or doing the VT switching that I was talking about earlier anymore. The button color shows on the hardware shows that it is enabled, but it is not working after I login.
