I can confirm that this is still happening in 12.04. There is a kernel bug since sometimes the touchpad is recognized and sometimes not (on a random basis) with no clue of what's causing it.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Description changed: The touchpad does not work. Although I can toggle on and off the orange button for touchpad activation it does not work.
