I had the same problem on hp nx8220. The problem now seems to be solved via
modifying xorg.conf.
In the sever layout section I changed
InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer"
to
InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse"
On my machine this fixed the issue.
