Just as a note, i've also been having problems with my touchpad since installing Ubuntu 9.10.
With 9.04 i was able to get my disable touchpad hotkey working with minimal configuration ( i think i had to install gsynaptics), but in this version of Ubuntu it is not nearly as simple.
Apparently the change in hardware manager and lack of a global variable within Ubuntu. Several people have come up with fixes which usually involve some sort of a shell script, but i haven't been bothered actually implementing one. It would be good to see a fix actually committed to Karmic for this, but personally i don't have the experience with Ubuntu packaging and operating system structure to even know where to start with developing a solution.
Might possibly be a good idea for a project in the future.
