I see from some pages on the net that this is a problem with the driver. Users of synaptics touchpads have a synaptics driver to get them by, however I have an Alps touchpad. I see from the synaptics driver homepage that the driver ships with a patch to make it work with alps touchpads, however when I install & use the synaptics driver (using apt-get) in my XF86Config-4 file, the XFree log says that it can't detect any synaptics device. I know I can compile from source, but looking at the debian changelogs for this package (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xfree86-driver-synaptics/xfree86-driver-synaptics_0.13.6-2/changelog) it looks like detection of Alps devices was fixed way back in 0.13.2-1 (I'm using 0.13.6-2).
So, does anyone know if 0.13.6-2 as found in sarge really does detect alps touchpads, or do I need to compile from source with the alps patch? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
