Public bug reported: I'd like to post this as a new bug since for some reason there's no movement (bug #938039) and the bug is really affecting my productivity at work.
Again, when adjusting the keyboard backlight by pressing F5 on the keyboard a few times the touchpad is effectively 'dead'. I can replicate this every time. Needless to say, my standard USB mouse works just fine.
