Touchpad Disabled on Boot

Hey guys,

I bought an Acer TravelMate X483-6856 laptop and loving it, everything works well.

The only issue is that the trackpad is disabled on every boot, needing to be enabled via a keyboard shortcut.  The keyboard shortcut does generate a `XF86TouchpadToggle` event but generating that event manually doesn't appear to do anything, synaptics also thinks that the touchpad is enabled.  I'm worried that it is more of a hardware problem.

Do you guys have and suggestions/guesses.  While it isn't a major issue it would be nice to have it fixed.

Thanks, Kevin
