Hi there all,

I am a Linux newbie. I recalled that I had had similar problem with Karmic about 4 months ago and I had fixed it then. After some recalling, I got it and here it is:

I went to the System -> Administration - > Windows menu and went to the Windows Preferences tab.

There for the "Movement Key" there is a radio button selection of "Super Key" or ALT" key. BOTH radio buttons had somehow become enabled, I do not know how this happened, but I suspect it is because I installed SUGAR. However, when I selected just one option there, the Touch Pad began to work immediately.

I hope this is of help to someone.

Warm Regards
Arvind
