[Bug 606238] Re: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510

[Steven]

Hi Remco,

The suggested fix did have the touchpad recognized as such in
"System>Preferences>Pointing devices" but when I select "Touchpad Off"
from the select list it is not deactivated and it still interferes with
typing text...
