UPDATE:
I just installed from a regular maverick cd. Same behavior: mouse during install, but not after reboot!
How far back do I have to go? Lucid? K?
Any ideas as to how to start the tradckpad?

After fighting natty with kubuntu, ubuntu, and the kde3 remix, and still not being able to talk to my own printer, I'm trying maverick (jaunty worked fine for a couple of years, and supported the hardware in question).
I now have the maverick remix installed on one machine, which seems to have gone mostly ok, except for a "minor" issue--no mouse (trackpad; no real usb mice handy to try). The mouse worked fine during installation, but now I just have a non-responsive white pointer on the screen.
I've gone through aptitude a couple of times to bring it up to date, and deal with other packages it wanted to add/remove/update, but I'm still mouseless.
The keyboard seems to work, but that doesn't do much but offer to switch desktops. I can also switch to text consoles.
