You can get to the "Pointing Devices" config programme without a mouse
by using the command "gpointing-device-settings".

I have a related, but apparently separate issue (bug #783641) as hitting
the disable touchpad button twice won't restart my pointer. However, it
seems that this button issues something like the following to your
hardware:

#! /bin/sh
xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Off" 0
xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Off" 1

As a workaround, resetting the touchpad should be quicker if you dump
the code above into a shell script file, substituting "SynPS/2 Synaptics
Touchpad" for whatever the name of your device is (try xinput --list to
find out what it's called)

Hope that helps,
Tom
