Comment 3 for bug 737856

Update:

I rebooted computer and resumed my work and the mouse froze up again. I repeated the same steps I posted in #2 and the touchpad was working again. This is just going to take some sorting. Plugging in an external mouse and changing the same settings every time you start your computer does not constitute a proper workaround. These things must be tolerated with alpha code. This issue only began after:
