Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

System: Acer Aspire 5738G

On this model, the button to en-/disable the touchpad has moved from
FN+F7 to an extra key. With this key on Ubuntu 9.04, you can switch the
touchpad off - BUT NOT ON AGAIN.

I get a keycode 200 using: $ xev | grep keycode.
dmesg and /var/log/messages won't report anything.

attached: cat Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics

More info can be found on the wiki page i just opend (the template is VERY 
outdated btw):

This is VERY annoying. You need to watch you finges, so they don't
accidently hit the touchpad button.
