I was given the following suggestion which has worked for other but not for
me. Does this give anyone any ideas what I can try next?

I had the same issue with a Dell when I upgraded to Fedora 18, so I
added 'i8042.reset i8042.nomux=1' (without quotes) at the end of the
kernel boot options in Grub:
[root@portdav2 ~]# cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True rd.luks=0
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=es i8042.reset i8042.nomux=1"
[root@portdav2 ~]#

Hope this helps,
