Hey,
I run Windows 7 (Boo! Hiss!) on my netbook (HP Mini 311c), and I would like to dual boot with Ubuntu. Not the netbook remix, as I just don't like it.
I created a bootable USB with unetbootin, out of the iso, and loaded up. It all loaded fine, except for the fact that the touchpad didn't work. I had to ctrl+alt+del to shut down. What could be causing this?
Any help appreciated :)

Can you try to play a little with the boot options? press any key at the first boot screen to change the options. I would especially suggest the acpi=off option.
Hope this helps,
Sander

I re-made the Liveusb, and it decided to work. Thanks anyway.
Just need to sort out my broadcom wireless card now...

For the googlers, who still have trouble with synaptic touchpads, refer to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all
Specifically to comment #9. It worked for me. (I installed gpointing-device-settings only. DIdn't need to install touchfreeze)
Now I'm at peace! :)

Worked fine for me! However, I installed both patches:
gpointing-device-settings && touchfreeze.

From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all comment #35 worked for me :-)
You can write:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
To make permanet include the last line in /etc/modprobe.d/options

Re. the aforementioned thread (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all): (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all%29:)
I'm running a Acer Aspire One 110 with Lucid (10.04), with all updates current.
I've had a non-functional touchpad since I installed Ubuntu on the AAO (v.8.xx), and nothing I've done has resuscitated it - until I read comment #93 in that thread, which has worked like a charm.
Hope this helps

deleting ~/.gconfd/saved_state
and setting
<entry name="touchpad_enabled" mtime="1283139756" type="bool" value="false"/>
to
<entry name="touchpad_enabled" mtime="1283139756" type="bool" value="true"/>
in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml worked for me.
