Hello Patrick -

That is the same way mine was. I wish I knew what updated. I installed 
the backports and it still works for me. A while ago I had a plan setup 
to write a simple script to enable and disable it.
On Ibex, when I pushed the button it popped up with an Ubuntu Help menu 
of some kind. I thought I could sniff the button signal and attach it to 
a script which will disable and enable it. For some reason I never 
pursued it. I will click around a little this week, probably at work, 
and see what I find for you.
