style="font-size: 13px;">I have a new laptop (Acer 5738 mentioned in a
different thread) which I have a nagging problem with:<br>
</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13px;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13px;">I have this nice and useful button right next
to the touchpad, for disabling it (when working with mouse and using
the keyboard and prefer not having pointer distracted by occasional
touches on the touchpad while typing).<br>
</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><span

</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13px;">The problem is that when I use it, all is
gute and the touchpad is disabled but when I try to re-enable the
touchpad its still disabled. This is fixed only after a shutdown of the
system, or "suspend" of it.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13px;">When I run hal-device or lspci (-v) I find
nothing like "touchpad" or "synaptic".<br>
