** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics
  
  System: Acer Aspire 5738G
  
  On this model, the button to en-/disable the touchpad has moved from
  FN+F7 to an extra key. With this key on Ubuntu 9.04, you can switch the
  touchpad off - BUT NOT ON AGAIN.
  
  I get a keycode 200 using: $ xev | grep keycode.
  dmesg and /var/log/messages won't report anything.
  
  attached: cat Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics
  
  More info can be found on the wiki page i just opend (the template is VERY outdated btw):

  This is VERY annoying. You need to watch you finges, so they don't
  accidently hit the touchpad button.
