Just installed 11.10. My Synaptics PS/2 mouse was working before (11.04) but post upgrade it stopped working right after login.

I did two things to (seemingly) fix it.

(1) sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
(2) gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true

After one reboot it seems to be working post login.
