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.
