Mouse Touchpad failing to respond

    My laptop touchpad had just stopped responding. The keyboard is working ok.
    I have done the following:
    1. Rebooted from Live CD, it works fine from there.
    2. Used a USB mouse, works OK, but this somehow renders the keyboard dead
    3. I did a reinstall (keeping my /home folder in tact), no change, Touchpad still not responding.
    4. I was going to try again to re-install, however now the Live CD is not booting up. I stops after about 6 dots on the casper/lunuz part, with the CPU fan going fairly hard at it.

    In the messages log, all I can see that may be of interest are the following
    amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22
    and
    psmouse.c: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input/0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away

    I've googled these & can't find anything concrete.

    (linux mint 9)

    any help appreciated

    Got it. Found a forum, which pointed to another forum which had the answer.
    gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean true
