High: Problem with essential hardware component (touchpad) - although
the work around of the mouse is tempting to set a little lower.
Hamilton please confirm:
1) which model computer you're using
2) Does 13.10 help?
3) When you say you reverted to 12.04, which 12.04? 12.04.1,12.04.2,12.04.3?
They have different kernel/X sets
4) Does the firmware have something for disabling the touchpad (e.g. fn+F?)
- just check that it's not the problem.
Jonathan: Unless your machine turns out to be identical to Hamilton's a
separate bug report is probably in order.

Title:
Asus synaptics/elantech touchpad not detected during or after fresh
install
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Bug occurred during a fresh install of Ubuntu-13.04. Attempted to fix
by attempting another fresh install as well as reverting to the
previous 12.04 version and switching interfaces such as installing
Kubuntu. The mouse responds perfectly fine yet the touch pad is not
even detected. All Synaptics touch pad drivers are up to date and I
have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers multiple times,
yet the touch pad will not respond.
