This is due to due to regression commit 72e71de15fceb0fd7cdfd8bb35f4f8aa8b0e20b5. a)WORKAROUND: Pushing Fn+F7 before login or b)WORKAROUND: Pushing Alt+Fn+F7 or Ctr+Fn+F7 after login makes the touchpad working. After reboot, I have to repeat a) or b) to get touchpad working again. The issue is still there in kernel 3.11.0-031100-generic, which is the newest mainline kernel I could test. The issue is a regression. I made a mainline kernel bisect which yielded: 72e71de15fceb0fd7cdfd8bb35f4f8aa8b0e20b5 is the first bad commit commit 72e71de15fceb0fd7cdfd8bb35f4f8aa8b0e20b5 Author: Lee, Chun-Yi
