It's possible that the installer fails to recognize this MacBook as a
laptop, and therefore does not install the synaptics driver. The bug
must then be reassigned to another package, I would suggest "ubiquity"
for a first shot.

I am not sure which mechanism is used nowadays, but can you anyway try:
 laptop-detect && echo yes
and see if it returns "yes" ?

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.
