[Bug 833840] Re: synaptics touchpad doesnt enable after disabling from fn+f6 key on dell xps l702x. Even after restart just doens't work now.

 

>Also I noticed today touchpad works on login screen but stops working
after login.

this also look like a dupe from bug #868400 , this is the classic case of the gnome session is disabling the touchpad on startup (on gdm you dont have gnome, so it works)
you can also try to create a new user and login... if dupe the mouse will work until you disable the touchpad for the first time
(watch out also for the "disable touchpad while typing")
