On this model, the button to en-/disable the touchpad has moved from FN+F7 to an extra key. With this key on Ubuntu 9.04, you can switch the touchpad off - BUT NOT ON AGAIN.
I get a keycode 200 using: $ xev | grep keycode.
dmesg and /var/log/messages won't report anything.

This is VERY annoying. You need to watch you finges, so they don't accidently hit the touchpad button.
