Actually, my laptop is now also back to how it was (i.e. touchpad faulty, but open to the workaround referred to above). This might help, though: After upgrading the kernel (to 2.6.17-11, with a switch from -generic to -386) my touchpad was "completely" gone (i.e. no workaround possible). Only when I re-installed the restricted modules (which I had to because the kernel update shot my non-free nvidia driver down), the laptop got back into the faulty but work-aroundable state. (Excuse my abbreviated language)
