Had same problem on acer aspire laptop. touchpad worked, then stopped working for my user only. When logging in with my son's user, the touchpad worked fine. So went with the deleting the .gnome2, gconf etc etc solution as it seemed to be user specific and not system specific (the modprobe solution).
Touchpad now works fine, but all other settings gone too. Bit of a pain, but not too hard to put right. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
