Comment 118 for bug 549727

the touch pad was not working for me after making the switch from windows 7 to ubuntu you could not use the touch pad as soon as it connected to the wifi if the wifi is turned off it works perfectly how ever after reinstalling Ubuntu to see if that was the problem i loaded the live cd with ubuntu 10.4lts on it and i connected to the internet via wifi and the touch pad was working i have found if you install ubuntu 10.4lts when you have connected to your wifi network and if you don't encrypt you home directory the touch pad works fine i am using a acer aspire 5535 and ubuntu 10.4lts 64bit and all i can say is it is amazing fast and easy to use much better than windows
