Trackpad works fine on login screen, even as the GUI comes up I can wiggle the pointer around a bit, but at some point (right before the Ubuntu safari "welcome" sound) it freezes in place, and only a USB mouse can revive it. This is Unix so I know there's gotta be some way to log the exact point it freezes + probably why, but I just got it set to the default goofball-off-the-street Ubuntu, and the desktop bkgd is hiding the command liney goodness by that point.

Oh, and also I have a DVD that Totem isn't showing any subtitles for... kind of pointless, since I don't speak the original language... Could that be related? I swear the trackpad worked fine before I put this DVD in + restarted... Ejecting it doesn't help, though. I'll whine more about the subtitle problem in another post.
