["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Martin Schröder, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  if touchpad disabled by hardware button, it cannot be enabled again

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an Packard Bell TR-85 laptop and it has several buttons obove
  the keyboard, do control touchpad, wlan, sound, ...

  If I toggle the button responsible for touchpad activation, i can disable it, but i can't re-enable it. If I want to use it again, i have to reboot the computer.
  There is no option in BIOS to control these buttons.

  If I touch the button the first time, syslog reports "Unknown key
  pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf2 on isa0060/serio0), if I touch it
  the second time, the code is 0xf1.
