Description of problem:I installed F16 from the live USB stick image and the touchpad worked ok. Then i did a yum update and after that the touchpad stopped working completely. I've marked this as an xorg problem, but i'm not certain that's what it really is. Xorg was updated to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.4-1.fc16.i686 however the kernel was updated to kernel-3.2.9-1.fc16.i686 at the same time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.9-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. install from F16 live USB 2. run yum update 3. Actual results: Touchpad doesn't work Expected results: Touchpad does work Additional info: Synaptics touchpad in a Acer Aspire One D270 netbook.

(In reply to comment #0) I have a similar laptop from Acer. Are you sure you didn't disable the touchpad by accidentally pressing the disable-touchpad-key (Fn+F7)? I ask this because I did that and it cost me 2 hours to realize :-)
No, it's not that. That was the first thing i checked!
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled returns true?
Yes, it returns true.
However, that's a bit academic now, as the last two kernel updates (3.2.9-1.fc16.i686 and 3.2.10-3.fc16.i686) have brought a new problem - when X starts the system reboots. With the 3.1.0-7 kernel X starts up ok. But i guess that's a different bug and i should report it separately...
Well, it turns out it was the disable-touchpad key. I definitely checked that, but i must have missed something!
