As the title of the thread states I have installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad Z560. The Z560 came preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Premium. Upon installing Ubuntu I noticed that the laptop ran much faster. Unfortunately, I also noticed that the touchpad didn't work. I am using a USB mouse for now. The integrated camera worked great. I tested it using Cheese Webcam Booth. My only complaint was that the picture quality was a bit sharper under Windows 7 but other than that it works fine.
The media buttons that control the screen's brightness and the speaker's volume worked out of the box. I was very impressed at that. One interesting feature the laptop has is the one-touch recovery button. Under Windows 7 it saves your data to a disk image in a spare partition and uses it to recover should anything go wrong. I don't know if it works because I haven't tested it but I'm not that tempted to try. Wifi and Bluetooth work out of the box.
Specs:
Intel Core i5-540M Processor @ 2.53GHz
4 GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 310M 512MB
4 GB DDR3 SDRAM

If anyone has any idea at all why the touchpad isn't working I'd really appreciate the help. I messed with the options under System> Preferences> Mouse to see if it would help but it didn't.
