Nick, what if you run 'gconftool --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true', does it work
then?

when you log in and g-s-d starts, it sets Device Enabled to 0, but
doesn't touch Synaptics
Correction, g-s-d seems to do the right thing, it's /etc/acpi/asus-
touchpad.sh that's messing with the Synaptics Off property (as pointed
out by others).

- the acpi-support escaping issue described in comment #37 seems to have been
addressed since
- the touchpad stop working after some time from comment #62 should be fixed
in precise
- the other comments seem an issue when the
(ups, validated the comment by error)
- run xinput, note the id=ID
- run xinput list-props ID and xinput list ID and copy the logs here?
