I have a new sony vaio F12M1E and had the same problem, right from the first boot of 10.10 from the installation cd. Neither was working my display after I installed the nvidia driver, but that is another story (finally solved it by reverting to driver 256.53 instead of the newest one).
I got the touchpad recognized by following the instructions from this website: http://www.thibautwdowiak.com/blog/index.php/77-install-of-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx-on-a-sony-vaio-vpcs12v5e.html I'm *not sure what the solution does*, but here it is: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub set the grub default to the following instead of "quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset i8042.nopnp" Then again in the terminal sudo update-grub and reboot -- Touchpad is not working since last kernel update in maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641320 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
