Comment to Leann. Of course, you are right: Fujitsu-Siemens is not the same as Thinkpad. However, it need not be a good idea to make a new bug report for every laptop-model with the same problem. Moreover, wouldn't it be interesting to know if trick rmmod ... modprobe trick works on a Thinkpad, too. If you check my attachment on my first comment to this bug, you will notice that my lifebook did not find the synaptics touchpad. Thus, before I succeeded activating my touchpad, my laptop must have recognised the touchpad somehow. How this has happened, I don't know. But this suggests that it could be that the driver works fine, but that the kernel under some circumstances is happy with finding psmouse and does not check for a touchpad.
