This bug is still unresolved, however my touchpad started working after last update. I've tried the hotkeys again but cannot seem to toggle it.

This seems not to work and might be related to the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/717931 After pressing Fn+F5 shows the following: $ dmesg ... [ 248.412826] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 248.412833] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. [ 250.261108] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 250.261110] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. I've added the mentioned kernel parameters as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI (adding acpi=off) and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/717931/comments/21 (i8042.nomux=1) but the problem still exists. Touchpad also has a little dot in the upper left side which I assume also is for toggling on/off the touchpad. This is also unresponsive. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Press Fn+F5 Actual results: Touchpad is not working Expected results: Touchpad should toggle on/off, making it able to use the touchpad.
