ok figured it out. xserver-xorg-input-synaptics wasn't even installed.
That should probably be done by default, no?

Installed it, restart xorg, and it seems to work.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Expected Function: Touchpad controls mouse pointer location (at least) in xorg.

What happened: After installation of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, the touchpad on my MacBookPro4,1 is not functional within xorg. (It works fine in the console with gpm installed). This touchpad uses the bcm5974 driver (loaded).


Using Ubuntu Jaunty, up-to-date as of 3/1/2009.
