I own a Sony Vaio VPCF1290X with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, and, as the title implies, my touchpad does not work. When checking through the Xorg.0.log in /var/log, I noticed that it does say that the mouse is recognized (even though it's as a Macintosh mouse).
Xorg.0.log:

ut/event2)

On my previous laptop, there was a button that could turn off the touchpad. While this laptop doesn't appear to have that button, what's happening seems to be similar. Does anyone have any ideas, or need more information?
