Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop on my new Sony Vio VPCF126FM and
touchpad is not detected.  This problem fist occurred during install.
The touchpad has never worked, from booting from the live CD, installing
Ubuntu, and then updating Ubuntu.

If I attempt to run System/Preferences/Touchpad the following error
message results:

GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics

I can not find the xorg.conf or XF86Config files.

Sudo tpconfig results with the following message.

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).

If I plug in a USB mouse, the USB mouse works.

There is not response from touching the touchpad or touchpad buttons.
The touchpad works under windows.

I have attached the dmesg file that the following web page instructed me
to do:
