Comment 4 for bug 1219708

High: Problem with essential hardware component (touchpad) - although the work around of the mouse is tempting to set a little lower.

Hamilton please confirm:
   1) which model computer you're using
   2) Does 13.10 help?
   3) When you say you reverted to 12.04, which 12.04? 12.04.1,12.04.2,12.04.3? They have different kernel/X sets
   4) Does the firmware have something for disabling the touchpad (e.g. fn+F?) - just check that it's not the problem.

Jonathan: Unless your machine turns out to be identical to Hamilton's a separate bug report is probably in order.
