Something new again: pombreda@COMPUTER:~$ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
As you can see, xinput reports this as a glidepoint now, instead of a ALPS DualPoint TouchPad previsouly seen in the kernel? input: DualPoint Stick as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input20 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input19 And a question: Could this be an xserver-xorg-input-synaptics bug instead or also? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480615 Title: [Dell Latitude E6540] ALPS touchpad and buttons work only in a single window. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is a kernel that has these recent ALPS related patches: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1258837 So after a reboot the touchpad and button work fine, at start. After a while the buttons, a single tap click, a double tap-click and the dual finger scrolling stop working on the correct front-most window and work instead on a background window. If I Alt-tab to bring the window that receives the touchpad events to front, it receives it ok, so this one window gets mouse events. Using either the touchpad or the glidepoint is then limited to this window at this point. Going to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 just a few seconds and then back to ctrl-alt-f7 restores things to normal for a while. Until its starts again. No dmesg nor syslog show up.
