Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu. I'm currently using Lenovo G530 Laptop dual booting Win 7 and Ubuntu.
Maverick
1. Downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 - Synaptic Touchpad did not work in Live CD mode
2. Installed Ubuntu using a USB mouse, after installation, updated to latest using update manager
3. Touchpad did not work still, tried searching for solution tried some of them
4. I had once used Ubuntu 10.04 on a different laptop before, so i decided to go back to Lucid
Lucid
1. Same problem touchpad never worked in the Live CD
2. Installed Lucid, ran all updates
3. No change in touchpad
I have tried the following from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all

sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
post #40
rm -rf /home/ben/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad
post #42
sudo gedit /home/diwa/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml
the configuration file already has the value as true
<entry name="touchpad_enabled" mtime="1290922794" type="bool" value="true"/>

switch to false and ture does not work either
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean false
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean true
None of these seem to work.
trying dmesg | egrep -i 'input|touch|track' gives the following

don't know what this means.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this. Having no touchpad is very hard.
