Comment 55 for bug 202009

I have also experienced this bug on both the HP G60-231WM & the Acer Aspire 3690-2900 -- the fix is very simple... so simple you will think "Why didn't I think of that???"

Ok so mouse doesn't work after upgrade to 9.10... then press CNTRL/ALT/F1 to get yourself to the Command Line...

First login to root account, then goto /boot/grub/ folder to edit the menu.lst file. This must be done because something went wrong with the UPGRADE and your GRUB menu.lst DID NOT Update itself. So you can edit it menu.lst with "nano menu.lst" --- once in nano then look for your Ubuntu install id and change the First entry from 2.6.28-11(last set of numbers in your menu will be the latest version of the install prior to the upgrade. you will need to change it to this 2.6.31-14-generic --- leave everything else alone just change the Kernel Version and save then restart and Touchpad will be working again just fine

to get back to desktop once mods are doen use CNTRL/ALT/F7
