abennet1, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I _believe_, but might be mistaken, that it has an elantech, not synaptics, touchpad. I upgraded to the 9.04 alpha "a few weeks ago," probably some time after the Alpha 4 release; I _think_ I used the "alt-f2, update-manager -d" method. Tonight I did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, rebooted when prompted, and then noticed the touchpad was not behaving properly. This was probably the first time I'd used the touchpad since trying the 9.04 alpha. The incorrect behaviors are: - vertical scroll does not work. Trying to scroll (moving my finger up or down at the far right of the touchpad) just moves the mouse. - middle-clicking with a two-finger tap does not work. Instead the page moves up or down a few lines, depending on the order in which my fingers touch the touchpad. I hope that this was not intended as a new feature, unless there is a good new way to emulate a middle-click! I rebooted into my 8.10 release and the scrolling and two-fingers-to- middle-click features both work fine.
