On a MBP 6,2, Ubuntu 11.04 the touchpad works at the login screen, but after logging in, it is disabled. Have to use an external mouse to open "pointing devices" and click twice on the "disable touchpad" to get the touchpad going again. That is: Please note that the GUI of "pointing devices" shows that touchpad is NOT disabled when it IS disabled.

As a work-around I tried to manipulate the 'disabled' mode with 'synclient', but it is somehow overruled by 'pointing devices'. Any idea how I can access 'pointing devices' without installing an external mouse? Via 'Alt-F2' I cannot find 'pointing devices'.

Problem is there for Unity as well Gnome.
