This happens to me too on a HP Pavilion dv9000 (dv9845ed) but I have some additional info:

When I boot up with the touchpad disabled, I can use my external USB mouse to login.
The external mouse works fine and I can do everything, however....
When I now activate the touchpad, my mouse stops working too!!! and the touchpad is not working correctly either. I can disable the touchpad again, but the mouse still does not work properly. I can use the right mouse button (see context sensitive menus, etc.) but the left mouse button does nothing.
The only thing I can do is use ctrl-alt-delete, click with my external mouse on suspend, then the button gets highlighted (so it does see a mouse event) but it does not trigger the action!!! I have to press the 'enter' key to really put it in suspend.
After waking up from suspend, everything works normal again.

I have tried the 'sudo rmmod.......' commands, and they seem to fix this problem, but I have only tried this a few times now. It's also not a real solution because now I have to run a script everytime I login to prevent my mouse/touchpad from becoming unresponsive.

If anyone has an idea / suggestion how I can give more info which can help, pls let me know.
