I have a notebook with a Synaptics TouchPad. If I

  1. Turn on my computer.
  2. Start Ubuntu

then my touchpad does not work.

If I

  1. Turn on my computer
  2. Start Windows
  3. Restart my computer
  4. Start Ubuntu

then my touchpad works properly.

How can I turn my touchpad on when starting ubuntu?

    Last time I had such problems with a dual-boot system, it had to do with Windows claiming the harddrive and not letting it go. Putting the Windows filesystem/partition on a different drive than the Ubuntu filesystem did the trick. Well, that or simply re-installing grub.
