hi Adam:

I really had no choice installing linux-backorts-modules-jaunty when i
did because i was lucky if i was able to get wireless working at all,
after logging in.

When i hit the button above the touchpad, the LED will alternate between
white and amber (and back again), but i'm still able to move the pointer
with the touchpad (even though the LED is amber).  I can disable the
touchpad  through mouse preferences, by unchecking "enable touchpad",
but i'm screwed if i don't have a mouse (to enable it again).
