Perhaps #87 provides a permanent solution, but not for me.
I added the parameters:
$ dmesg | grep i8042
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic 
root=UUID=6011851c-f1ed-4a48-a724-d02cd7732d6b ro i8042.reset i8042.nomux quiet

[    0.697496] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input5

But the touchpad is still dead. 
What I've found out with tpconfig:

$ tpconfig -i
Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux].

$ sudo tpconfig -i
Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).
Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up.
Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second.
Corner taps disabled;           no tap gestures.
Edge motion: none.
Z threshold: 6 of 7.
2 button mode; corner tap is right button click.

Is it okay that it doesn't find the touchpad without sudo?
