This a different bug. In my bug, the touchpad would not work at all because synaptics did not install by default. This bug still seems to affect me even after fixing the other bug. The issue here is that the fdi policy file seems to be completely ignored. I haven't looked too deeply into my configuration yet though. There seems to be some "pre- set" config and that is the only config that works.

Status in Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL): New Status in Mactel Support: New Status in XOrg-Driver-Synaptics - synaptics driver for XOrg: New Status in “xorg” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg The touchpad for MacBook 5.1 is not supported completely in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) as of Alpha 5 release. The pointer can move, and a physical left-click works, but that's it. I can not get tapping to respond as I could using the Mactel PPA packages with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I added the attached FDI policy file for the touchpad, and manually added the module bcm5974 to my /etc/modules file, however, Xorg is not loading or is not recognizing the touchpad policies. This file worked on Intrepid. The custom bcm5974-dkms package from the Mactel PPA provided support in Intrepid. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
