Lost mouse and touchpad left click after upgrading to kernel 2.6.27-9

[Egor Ushakov]

A few days ago I ran Update Manager and updated to last kernel. After reboot I noticed that I don't have left click neither on touchpad of my AsusU5F nor bluetooth mouse Logitech V470. Pointer moved correctly and thankfully I had working right click that helped me to run Terminal from Panel and collect some data for bug reporting. I tried to reboot several times with previous kernel - the same result.
After a short search of similar troubles I found "Enable SHMConfig" section here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig , create /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi and reboot notebook. Waiting for positive changes I started to play with left click while my PC was booting and found left click working! But as soon as mouse pointer changed from animated circle to simple arrow (that means AFAIK that system completely booted) left click ran away. That fact may indicate that in the last moment as system boots, some correct configs of touchpad changed to wrong but newest one (ones). Can you suggest a decision for this trouble?

Hi Egor,

Sorry for such a delayed response to a bug you reported quite some time ago. Can you comment if this is still an issue for you? If so, can you test the latest Jaunty 9.04 Beta release - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta . You should be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Hi Leann,

Sorry for delay. This bug appeared due to gXneur package. Jaunty and gXneur 0.9.4 works rather good together.
