  As in 8.10, the key that is supposed to deactivate the touchpad on my
  Compaq Presario CQ70 is not working in 9.04 Beta. This key is located
- just above the touchpad, and when activated should deactivate it. The
- color of the button is white, and when pressed changes to red/orange,
- but apart of this color change, it has no effect.

  I have followed the directions on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and went until step 9.
  This is the output I get from sudo input-events 4:

  What I conclude from this are 2 things:
  - when pressing the key the first time (deactivated -> activated), the key is 
recognized as 216 and has an unknown symbolic key name
  - however when pressing it for the second time, it is recognized as 217 and 
has the name of "EV_KEY KEY_HELP"
  
  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
  
- I'll try to attach all the recommended Useful Information:
