this problem exists on Linux Mint 12 and 13, but for some reason is not affecting me on Ubuntu 12.04...
unchecking "disable touchpad while typing" fixes the issue. in order to avoid accidental clicks, you must also unceck "enable mouse clicks with touchpad" and use the purpose-built buttons only :) (are they really that inconvenient?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 Title: Touchpad stops working after login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
