I actually edited line 132 directly, adding i8042.nomux=1 to it, i.e.: title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=8836da58-198d-4c8d-ae63-7ec5dff705ce ro quiet splash i8042.nomux=1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic quiet
Is definitely a pain, though, in that I have to keep re-editing for each new kernel version. When I get back home will give it a try your way, and see if it still works for me. For you, try directly on the line as above, and see if it works, (the million swipes to cross the screen was the first attempt at repairing the billionth-of-a-swipe crossing the screen 50 times, as was the original behavior - if I remove the nomux option on mine, that's the behavior I'll get, as well).
