I have the same problem on a Lenovo Z61m running feisty, as soon as I switch user the synaptic touchpad stops working, however the ibm "red- pointer" stick still works.
I do have a work around for it though. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 then Ctrl-Alt-F9 ie switch back to original session, and the back to the choose user screen it works from then on. -- [edgy]synaptics touchpad stop work in new session user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
