Marcus,
You can solve this issue easily... (it's been affecting me since my Ubuntu 9.X .. and it seems it continue to affect other distros like Mint) :
1) modify grub file: nano /etc/default/grub;
2) edit the line and let it be like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop"
3) Update your grub with this command: update-grub
I hope it works 4 you... in my case, I'm using a Vostro 1510.
Cheers!
