(Get the code!)
This is not working for me. I had the problem start about 3 days ago (4/14?) after applying updates. The pointer started shaking and being unresponsive. I rebooted and the touchpad worked until I logged in. After some troubleshooting I created another user account and the touch pad works in that account.
I think this is probably due to corruption or mis-configuration of a user level configuration, but I have not been able to find information about user specific config files that reference touchpad settings. Toggleing TouchpadOff with synclient does not seem to have any effect, but I don't know if I need to restart a service or whatnot to get the new setting to take effect. After logging back in it reverts back to 0.
Exiting and entering Xwindows and applying other packages per #10 did not help.
I am working with an HP Touchsmart tx2, running 10.04 beta2, amd64, applying the latest patches daily. If I can provide any more information let me know.
Alternatively if anyone can point me to config files to look at it would help greatly. I really feel like a user level configuration simply toggled the touchpad off.
