Touchpad doesn't work on a cold boot - Dell Studio 13

[Gary]

Similar to bug #334249, my touchpad doesn't work on a cold boot. This is with a fully patched (as of 3/24/10) 9.10 amd64 system, runnign on a Dell Studio 13 laptop. If I reboot, everything works fine.

Hi Gary,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 546541

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I've reinstalled with Lucid and this problem hasn't happened since. Looks like something got updated that fixes it.
