Trackpad Stopped Working (Acer Aspire One Netbook)

[ctownstud00]

I was working on fixing my wireless modules/drivers, and suddenly, after I have it working, my trackpad stopped working after login! It works before login, and if I logout, it works at the login screen, but not after I login. Maybe something weird got blacklisted or something, I can't think of anything else. I'm a beginner with Ubuntu, so I really need some help!

Thanks kindly,
Sean

After searching and attempting multiple solutions, nothing has worked. The mouse doesn't work even before login, now. Here is my blacklist.conf as it relates to mice. I believe it was set this way prior to the problem, but I don't know what other information to provide for assistance.

blacklist.conf

# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse

This all came after I fixed my Wireless driver. It seems as though it must be related, since it started afterwards.

Also worth mentioning is that sometimes when I login, the wrong theme loads. What the heck is that about?? Highly annoying! When I log out and log back in, it usually loads the right theme, then, but why would it do that??

Please help!

OK, seriously?? Nothing??

Let's try some bumps, then...!

Hey, I started having that problem with an Aspire One, all of the sudden, the mouse would stop working.

The way I solved it was by restarting the driver:

sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

It was very frustrating. I think it was happening because my RAM was getting low... (zramswap helped solve that issue )

Anyway, hope that helps!
