Bryce, yes unfortunately it's still an issue.

I've tried various things including compiling my own psmouse module
(since backed out).

I update my Natty install every ~24 hours so I'm definitely on the
latest.

current state is:
- boot with no additional devices/changes -> touchpad recognised but doesn't operate properly and buttons don't work at all, ever.
- boot with USB mouse attached -> it works but buttons are in wrong order, wheel/middle is left button; rmmod/modprobe psmouse corrects this. Touchpad as above.
- blacklist psmouse module and boot with USB mouse -> USB mouse works perfectly, touchpad inoperable; insmod psmouse -> touchpad works with tap-to-click, but buttons don't work. Kind of implies to me that psmouse interferes with / grabs the USB mouse in some way 

It looks more and more like a defect in the psmouse module and how it
supports, or doesn't support, the Acer Aspire One touchpad. It's
possible that there's some Xorg interaction with the module that makes
things better/worse, I can't be sure.

Either way, from this experience, I will be surprised if many AAO owners
will be happy with Natty on release day unless we can resolve. I'm
stumbling around a bit, I'm afraid.

I'd be keen to compare notes with another AAO owner just to rule out a
hardware problem on my side, of course!
