I have Lenovo 4152 and I have installed Ubuntu 10.04. My touchpad is not working. The touch key for volume is working but touchpad is not working in Linux. What should I do?

Try this:

System->preferences->mouse

check if touchpad tab is active and what is selected. If that does not help install gsynaptics and try to check the touch-pad configuration.

After installing the gsynaptics package, if your touchpad does not work immediately you can try this in the terminal (you can open the terminal using <CTRL>+<ALT>+<T>):

synclient TouchpadOff=1
synclient TouchpadOff=0

The first line disables your touchpad and the second enables it again.
