Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal
After an update to linux-image-generic-2.6.27-2 my trackpad stopped working. Plugging in an external mouse regained mouse functionality. To get my mouse working I had to add Option "SHMConfig" "on" to my xorg.conf. Obviously for those who only have the minimally configured xorg.conf this is not an option.
