Public bug reported:

Used to work fine, then intermittently (while on maverick), and now over and 
over almost every time I try to log on.
I upgraded to Natty, same problem.  It worked once, and hasn't worked since.
I followed a guide online regarding this, and was told to post here with a 
dmesg and Xorg.0.log which I will attach here.
The ubuntu-bug program did not let me file the bug report against 'linux' as 
the guide said I should do.
I plug in my extra mouse (a wacom pen) and that works fine.
I do not see a 'Touchpad' tab under system-settings --> mouse, and I did not 
find the touchpad under "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" neither.
This is a Sager ifl 2090, with an Elentech touchpad.  Some other person posted 
that his is a 'Touchpad: Elantech 810511-0911' so let's go with that?

I also used to get (every once in a while) the non-Xorg login (sorry I
don't know what you call it, but it's without the ubuntu splash and
login screen -- only a blank screen with command-line login prompt.  I
would do "sudo shutdown -r 0" over and over until I got the splash'
login.  I believe I saw a couple messages about something in the bios
there.  That hasn't happened recently but both these problems started
happening around the same time, along with a louder fan.  Not sure if
that helps. (?)
