I'm not sure exactly which devices we're talking about. For me, trackpad and touchpad are synonymous. My working assumption is that the built-in trackpads are working for people, but the Apple Magic Trackpad is not.

The bug referenced by Joshua in comment #16 is a previous bug that was fixed in Natty. There is a new bug that cropped up in Oneiric. That is being tracked in bug #842612. The fix has been committed to the Oneiric kernel repo, but it has not been released yet. The next kernel upload, which I think will happen this week, will include the fix.

If that is the issue people are having, please mark this bug as a duplicate of 842612. Otherwise, please provide information on what devices are working and not working, and attach copies of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg.

Thanks!
