I have a Toshiba satellite A200-1CR AE0 series and had the same problem described in this post. The touchpad was dead. No errors from xorg and the system seemed that it recognized it correctly.
The solution to the problem was the following: I reinstalled windows and the drivers. Enabled the touchpad (turned it on) from the "Touch Pad On/Off Utility"(http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU) downloaded from Toshiba site. After this I wiped out windows and reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04. The touchpad worked flawlessly. I think there is a problem in the kernel handling hardware disabling of the laptop peripherals. The touchpad was disabled when I swithced from windows to ubuntu and enabling the hardware from the Toshiba proprietary drivers did the trick. Hope this help some of you. -- AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
