i got my touchpad stop working after several hours being disabled (using Fn+F7 in my Acer 4530). i've tried many times to turn it on using the same key-combination (Fn+F7), although the touchpad indicator says it works, but the touchpad still not working

i wonder if anybody know how to fix this problem?

I had the same problem, touchpad worked for login screen but not once logged in. I got it going with

gconftool -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true

I have the same problem on my Acer Extensa 5635th Here I could take the touchpad running again because I have also installed Windows XP. In XP, the touchpad back on, switched to Ubuntu and it worked again.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by disabling the touchpad with the button, then typing gconftool -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true, then re-enabling the button.

sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

This works for me when I forget that the touchpad can be disabled, but not re-enabled again.
