It might be a bios issue.

Please follow these steps:
Read where it says "Changing the Boot Option Configuration Line" so as to boot the live cd with a custom option
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing the Boot Option Configuration Line

and add the following options instead of the one in the example (which is vga=771):
hpet=force i8042.nopnp

if this doesn't work, try the following options:
i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop

Let me know if it solves the problem

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
After the upgrade from 7.10, where my synaptics touchpad was automatically recognized, to 8.04 (online) my touchpad stopped working. When clicking on GSynaptics I get that I should set "SHMConfig" to "true" in xorg.conf, which I have done, but that does not help. "synclient -l" gives the the answer that I don't have access to shared memory and asks whether SHMConfig is disabled. I have added the *.fdi file according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig, but nothing seems to help.
