I have a similar problem with mine, but I've found here that hitting CTRL-ALT-2 (or more correctly 
holding down CTRL-ALT and tapping 2 twice) gets me the monitor. likewise I often have to tap 1 twice 
to get back to the video window.

Not seen the issue with the touchpad though. Will fire it up a little later and give it a whirl.
