Precise has been the first release I installed on this machine. The touchpad never worked properly. Before updating the recent BIOS upgrade (and also kernel upgrade), the touchpad didn't work at all, even pushing the FN key (it didn't activate at all). In this moment, with Precise, the touchpad is working, and it's been working for hours.

The output of xinput is PS/2 generic mouse. The touchpad is not working at all. Except sometimes the cursor moves randomly. In Precise, after a cold boot, the touchpad works only after enabling it by Fn key. But, after a while the touchpad stops working, and it is not possible to re-enable it by Fn key. After reboot it starts working again. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
