System: archlinux 32 bit + kde
Keyboard layout: dell latitude french
Problem: The (Synapstic)touchpad was disabled after I pressed "Fn + left", but in latitude D420, the "Fn + left" is "auto adjust brightness", not "disable touchpad"!
Now I can't use my touchpad anymore! In the kdm login page everything goes fine, but after kde loaded the settings, the touchpad was disabled!
Can anyone please help me?
[SOLVED]
Disable a service "Active/disactive Touchpad" in the system settings.

There's a Wiki entry (of course); but make sure that
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
is in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

I think the problem is caused by some KDE touchpad settings but I can't find it.
even after
$mv ~/.kde4 ~/.kde4.old
reboot
nothing changed.
$cat /proc/bus/input/devices
shows the TouchPad and Point Stick, but only the Point Stick working under KDE.
