Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

This is a Acer Aspire 7540, the key does light up and ubuntu seems to know that I have disabled the pad and turned it back on, however it will not respond after turning it on... even though ubuntu shows the touchpad icon without an x and the light does turn off, a restart is required to enable the touchpad after doing so.
