Ketil Malde, 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.

The touchpad has never been correctly identified, but it provides a ps2 mouse emulation, which has worked. The sensitivity is horrible, but I've learned to live with that. Upgrading to natty, edge scrolling and emulate3buttons disappeared, so I thought I'd investigate. The current situation is as follows: 'modprobe psmouse' module gives (in dmesg): [351174.694720] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input23 [351174.719260] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input24 'xinput list': ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=16 [slave pointer (2)] After enabling ShmConfig in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, I can run 'synclient -m 1': time x y z f w l r u d m multi gl gm gr gdx gdy 0.000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 ...but nothing further happens, even if I move the pointer around with the touchpad or click buttons, etc. So that's where it stands. How can I configure the touchpad so that it is visible, and I can configure things like sensitivity? (The edge scroll issue can be fixed by giving the psmouse module the options proto=imps, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/737051/comments/2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/782259/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
