I have the same problem where my touchpad is not working. This is after a fresh install of Maverick on a Sony Vaio VPCEE2S1E. The touchpad is not detected. As I am running 2.6.35.22, the patch provided here does not work for me. I have tested booting to several flavours of live CD with the same results.
