Christopher, thanks for the feedback. By the way, on re-reading this bug report, I realized that I gave you some wrong information. I now remember what I had to do to get the laptop mouse working again. Basically, I had to purge out all of the gnome/ubuntu desktop configs in my home directory (e.g. .gnome*, .config, .local). I made a backup of all of my "dot" files and folders, then took them out. When I logged back in, the problem had cleared up. I don't know if this helps, but I'm putting this on for the record. I discovered this because I created a new user and logged in, and the mouse functioned correctly, leading me to realize that it must be a problem in the local configs for my user.

But when you log in, the mouse cursor disappears and stops working. I have to use my bluetooth mouse from this point on. If I do the following commands, it starts working again: # modprobe -r psmouse # modprobe psmouse proto=imps However, the scroll pad (side scroll bar on the touchpad) no longer will scroll large pages, and just moves the mouse around on the screen. This worked fine under Ubuntu 11+ 32bit.
