Finally got my touchpad working

One of the things that has definitely been bugging me for the last few months while i've been using Ubuntu is the non-operation of my touchpad enable/disable button. I didn't know why it wasn't working (i just assumed it would, as you do with linux), and i couldn't find any easy soltion to make it work. Until today.

Was searching for information on SHMConfig (the key to advanced touchpad management) today and managd to stumble across a very good help article on the Ubuntu Website, dealing with Enabling SHMConfig the safe and easy way. Low and behold, once i had done this step and rebooted, my laptop's touchpad enable/disable key works like a charm. Success!
